Presidents Cup 2011: Americans Set to Seal Deal vs. International Team on Sunday

Not even Tiger Woods, in all of his stumbling splendor, can keep the US team from capturing its fourth consecutive Presidents Cup.

And with the way Woods' golf game has languished since 2009, that's saying something.

The Americans dominated in foursome play at Royal Melbourne on a rain-soaked Saturday in Australia, earning points in four out of five matchups to extend their advantage from 7-5 to 11-6 after three days of play.

From Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk's furious comeback to top Aaron Baddeley and Jason Day to David Toms and Hunter Mahan making quick work of Retief Goosen and Charl Schwartzel, this turned out to be quite a moving day, indeed, for Fred Couples' squad.

Heck, the Yanks were so dominant on Saturday, even Woods came away with a positive result. Granted, he still didn't play particularly well, but, with Dustin Johnson by his side, Woods added a point to the American total with a win over K.J. Choi and Adam Scott.

He probably didn't mind getting a bit of revenge against Stevie Williams, either.

The lone International triumph came from Ernie Els and Ryo Ishikawa, who battled Bill Haas and Matt Kuchar to the very end, only securing the result on the 18th hole.

The Internationals will need a Herculean effort on Sunday have any shot at wresting control of the Presidents Cup from the Americans for the first time since 1998, the last time the event was held at Royal Melbourne.

If captaincy is any reflection of how a team will perform, then you can expect the International squad, led by Greg Norman, to choke away whatever shot they would've had at capturing the Cup before the competition can even get heated.

As such, look for the Americans to hoist the hardware on Sunday before a rather pleasant return flight back to the States.
