JERSEY CITY, New Jersey (Reuters) - The International team's Presidents Cup hopes were hanging by the slimmest of threads after the United States claimed six of eight matches in a cut-throat display on Saturday to sit on the brink of a seventh successive title. Only a one-up victory by India's Anirban Lahiri and South Korea's Kim Si-woo over Kevin Chappell and Charley Hoffman denied the United States a sweep of the afternoon four-balls to put celebrations at a breezy Liberty National on hold. The United States have a commanding 14-1/2 to 3-1/2 lead and need just one point from Sunday's 12 singles matches. "They are going to go play for their pride, they are going to play for themselves, they are going to play for the team and they are going to play for us. "It's easy to get complacent with the way things are right now and it's easy to come out tomorrow lazy."
