Shigeki Maruyama was all smiles, just like always, watching from in front of the 12th green as Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im delivered a record-tying rout over America's best foursomes duo Friday at the Presidents Cup.

Twenty-six years have passed since Shigeki Maruyama produced a performance for the ages, going a perfect 5-0-0 in his Presidents Cup debut at Royal Melbourne in Australia. That performance powered what has since become the lone International Team victory to date against the United States in the biennial competition.

So maybe this Presidents Cup won't be a walkover after all. One day after getting pasted, 5-0, in the Thursday fourballs round, the International Team swung back hard at the United States. Leading the charge: Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im,

Matsuyama and Im had an incredible Day Two at the Presidents Cup, putting the first International point on the board with authority.
