MELBOURNE, Australia – The unthinkable happened Saturday at the Presidents Cup.
Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler, the Americans strongest duo, a team that had a combined 4-0-1 record to this point, blew a seemingly insurmountable lead at a crucial point of the matches at Royal Melbourne.
Thomas and Fowler were 5 up after 10 holes in their foursomes match against Marc Leishman and Abraham Ancer.
And the match ended tied. Yes, tied.
“Speechless,” Thomas said. “It’s unacceptable for us to get a half point.”
Added Leishman: “Half point never felt so good.”
