Americans build 4-point lead at Presidents Cup

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov 19 (AP): So much about this Presidents Cup resembles the last time it was played at Royal Melbourne 13 years ago, from the sudden drop in temperatures to Tiger Woods winning only one point to a final day that holds so little drama. The difference is the team on the verge of hoisting the gold trophy. The Americans built a big lead Saturday morning in the foursomes matches, with Woods finally rewarded with a point, then turned back a rally from the International team in the worst of the weather in the afternoon by capturing the final two matches. "We needed those two points really bad," U.S. captain Fred Couples said. "And they got them for us."
