It was the second straight week of scrutiny for the Reed camp, following his rules violation of scooping sand out of the way in the Bahamas that led to a two-shot penalty. The International team needs six points from the 12 matches to claim the cup for the first time in 21 years. Dustin Johnson finally got the board when he and Gary Woodland took down Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen in the lead match in foursomes. It was only the third time in 13 events that the International team had the lead after team matches. And they had a nine-point lead at Royal Melbourne in 1998, the only team to beat the Americans.
