Brandt Snedeker has gone back to Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns for Friday Foursomes at Medinah Country Club, with the U.S. Team taking a 3-2 lead from the opening Four-ball session outside Chicago.
The alternate-shot format is the tougher of the two, so the captains’ decisions carry extra weight. Snedeker and Geoff Ogilvy set five matches for Friday, and the Americans will try to build on a slim advantage after a back-and-forth start to the Presidents Cup.
Scheffler and Burns reunited
The opening Foursomes session begins at 2:05 p.m. ET, with Scheffler and Burns taking on Corey Conners and Nick Taylor. It is a pairing the U.S. captain has trusted again, and it immediately shapes the tone of the session.
That is the central point for the Americans: if Scheffler and Burns can settle quickly, the 3-2 lead has a chance to grow. If they are pushed early, the International Team can turn Friday into a much tighter contest.
The rest of the Friday card
At 2:19 p.m. ET, Russell Henley and Jacob Bridgeman face Sungjae Im and Hideki Matsuyama. Then at 2:33 p.m. ET, Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark go against Ryan Fox and Min Woo Lee.
The final listed match is at 2:47 p.m. ET, where Justin Thomas and Cameron Young play Adam Scott and Christiaan Bezuidenhout. With five matches on the schedule, every hole matters in a format that punishes hesitation and rewards clean, simple golf.

Friday will tell a lot about whether the Americans can extend their edge or whether the International Team can use the more difficult format to claw back momentum. At Medinah Country Club, that makes the opening tee shots feel especially important.
