(Reuters) \u2013     The United States will not clinch the Presidents Cup on Saturday but continued to close in on the golden trophy after splitting the morning foursomes (alternate shot) 2-2 with a scrappy International team desperate to get back into the fight.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\">\n<\/div>\n<p>The U.S. have dominated the biennial competition with an 11-1-1 record and started the day with an 8-2 lead and in position to register a Presidents Cup first \u2013 clinching the Cup on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>With two sessions scheduled for a marathon day (foursomes and fourballs) the Americans had targeted the 15 1\/2 total points needed to claim the title for a 12th time and extend their unbeaten run on home soil.<\/p>\n<p>But the Cup will be decided in Sunday\u2019s singles no matter happens in the afternoon fourballs after Australian Adam Scott and Japan\u2019s Hideki Matsuyama beat Collin Morikawa and Cameron Young 3&#038;2 blocking the Americans from getting the job done early.<\/p>\n<p>The Internationals got another point when the South Korean pair of K.H. Lee and Kim Joo-hyung took down the U.S. all-star pairing of world number one Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns 2&#038;1 but the task ahead of captain Trevor Immelman\u2019s men remains a daunting one.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. will take a commanding 10-4 lead into the afternoon fourballs with the underdog Internationals trying to chip away at that advantage to have any realistic chance of pulling off an upset on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>A long day began in the dawn chill and dewy fairways but the early start did not stop fans from packing into the massive first tee stands, the pro-American crowd sending off captain Davis Love III\u2019s men to what they hoped would be another day of domination.<\/p>\n<p>Major winners Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas were sent off first and set the tone powering to a 4&#038;3 win over South Korea\u2019s Im Sung-jae and Canadian Corey Connors, improving their record at Quail Hollow to 3-0-0.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Finau and Max Homa would beat South Korea\u2019s Kim Si-woo and Australian Cam Davis to add another point to the American cause before the U.S. charge ran out of steam.<\/p>\n<p>Partnered in every session, Scheffler and Burns again failed to deliver a win as the Koreans broke open a tight match winning holes 15 and 16 to snatch a full point.<\/p>\n<p>Young and Morikawa had appeared on their way to win leading  1-up at the turn but suffered a back nine collapse as Scott and Matsuyama won four straight holes from the 10th to turn the match.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Steve Keating in Charlotte.
