The United States' dominance in the Presidents Cup is well documented, 11-1-1 in the 13 matches since the inaugural matches in 1994. But that dominance isn't confined to the overall record. Consider this nugget from noted stat man Justin Ray: The last time the International team won a Foursomes session was 2005, eight matches ago. And since 2007, the United States has outscored the Internationals by 30 points (50.5-20.5). During that same timeframe, the Internationals have outscored the Americans by a combined two points in Four-ball (35.5-35.5) and Singles (43-41).
