Friday’s four-ball round at the Presidents Cup was marked by two separate spirited International comebacks spurred by Mike Weir and Tim Clark, sending gallery roars throughout San Francisco’s Harding Park Golf Course and perhaps signaling a down-to-the-wire finish on the weekend. But during foursomes matches Saturday morning, the tables were turned on that twosome thanks to a certain Southern Californian who’s developed a knack for the dramatic. Cypress native Tiger Woods hit two of the week’s most pivotal shots when he and partner Steve Stricker needed them most — a birdie putt on the par-4 17th and a stealth iron that set up an eagle on the par-5 18th, turning a 2-down deficit to Weir and Clark with six holes left into a 1-up victory. And within hours, what was once a neck-and-neck contest was again headed to a familiar result. The U.S. entered Saturday’s afternoon four-ball matches with a 10-7 lead after gaining 3.5 out of five points in the morning. America was ahead by just a point when the third day of the biennial competition began. Not only did the tandem of Woods-Stricker move to 3-0-0 for the week, but San Diego’s Phil Mickelson also improved to a perfect 3-0-0 mark when he teamed with Sean O’Hair to defeat Retief Goosen and Camilo Villegas in convincing 5-and-3 fashion. Orange native Hunter Mahan and partner Stewart Cink squeezed out a half-point against Robert Allenby and Vijay Singh, halving a match the Internationals had held a 2-up lead with four holes to play. Woods and Stricker are again paired together in Saturday’s afternoon four-ball matches, against Ryo Ishikawa and Y.E. Yang, as are Mickelson and O’Hair, who are pitted against Clark and Vijay Singh. Mahan is sitting out for the first of the four match sessions.
