The U.S. team finds itself in a 4-1 hole after the first day of action at the 2019 Presidents Cup from Australia's Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
In four-ball format, Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas got the Americans off to a good start with a 4-and-3 win over Joaquin Niemann and Marc Leishman on Thursday (Wednesday in the U.S.). That was the only outright win for the U.S. squad, which lost each of the final four matches.
