Presidents Cup 2013 Update: Breaking Down the Standings Going into Final Day

The final day of the 2013 Presidents Cup looks like it's going right down to the wire.

Mother Nature has forced Day 3 play to spill over into Sunday. Only one match in Saturday's foursomes was able to get in, with another four pushed to this morning.

According to the Presidents Cup's official Twitter account, play will resume at 7:35 a.m. ET on Sunday.

Following Day 3, the United States have an 11.5-6.5 lead. While that seems like a comfortable lead, the Internationals are leading in two of the four remaining matches, and another is all square. It's very likely the U.S. will only have a 12.5-9.5 lead before the 12 Singles battles tee off.

Each Singles match is worth one point.

While the odds are on a fifth straight American victory in the Presidents Cup, it's not an impossibility for the International team to make a run in the final round. With so many matches with which to make a comeback and points up for grabs, you're discounting the Internationals at your own peril.

Here's how we got to this point.

The day started off well enough for the United States. They took four of the first five matches to run out to a major lead in the overall standings.

Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley rallied on the back nine to get a vital point for the Americans. They started the front nine slowly before squaring things on No. 9. Then the pair hit a great run, winning three holes between Nos. 12 and 15.

It was a bit of a gamble for Fred Couples to stick with Mickelson and Bradley after they lost on Thursday, but it's a decision that's paid off in spades.

Jason Day and Graham DeLaet snatched a point back with their win over Steve Stricker and Jordan Spieth. However, the International pair's momentum was short-lived, as the United States won the next three matches.

Perhaps the most encouraging result was Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar's win over Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama. Woods and Kuchar have formed a great partnership, going 3-0 in their first three Presidents Cup matches, per GolfChannel.com's Jason Sobel.

The Internationals recovered well when the foursomes began.

They were winning all five matches at various periods of time. The International flags were flying high, and Nick Price had to be excited with the fight back his team was making.

The United States had a response, though, and none was more resonant than Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson's.

They won six of the final eight holes to secure a point. Johnson's eagle shot on 15 was an appropriate finish for what turned into a dominant win, via PGATour.com.

Bill Haas and Steve Stricker also did a great job of coming back to take a two-hole lead on Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama.

With the International team looking likely to win at least two of the remaining matches from Saturday, it should be close enough to make a run on the final day.

That's all you can ask for as a fan.
