Matt Kuchar and Tiger Woods hammered Angel Cabrera and Marc Leishman 5&4 and Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner were almost as impressive against South Africans Richard Sterne and Branden Grace, winning 5&3. Steve Stricker's excellent up-and-down at the last earned himself and Jordan Spieth a one-up win over Ernie Els and Brendon de Jonge. But the international team salvaged some hope with a hard-fought one-up win for Jason Day and Graeme DeLaet against Hunter Mahan and Brandt Snedeker and a 2&1 success for Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel over Ryder Cup success
