    THE DAY IN SPORTS; U.S. is turning Presidents Cup into a rout Publication info: Los Angeles Times ; Los Angeles, Calif. [Los Angeles, Calif]01 Oct 2017: D.12. ProQuest document link FULL TEXT The Americans came within one match of winning the Presidents Cup -- on Saturday. The U.S. team is playing to its full potential, and the result is the biggest blowout since these matches began in 1994. Anirban Lahiri and Si Woo Kim had the only victory for the International team over two sessions, and Phil Mickelson broke Tiger Woods' Presidents Cup record with his 25th victory as the Americans poured it on at Liberty National in New Jersey. They had a 141/2-31/2 lead and need only one point Sunday to win the cup for the seventh straight time. The 11-point margin is the largest going into the 12 singles matches, breaking the International record of nine points set in 1998 at Royal Melbourne, the only time that team has won the cup. Rory McIlroy moved into contention at the British Masters by shooting a six-under 64 in the third round, leaving him two strokes off the lead held by Robert Karlsson. ... Five-time PGA Tour winner Jonathan Byrd shot a seven- under 64 to take the third-round lead in the Web.com Tour Championship. -- ETC.
