Welcome to Golf Talk Today, the daily habit of Playing Through.
Every day, our crew will discuss a different element of the PGA Tour, LPGA, LIV Golf, and more.
The second day brought energy! Before Day 3 of the Presidents Cup begins, let's take a look back at Friday's wild run.
The international team dominated the American team, tying the score at 5-5. Whatever pep talk happened on the bus after Thursday's session, it worked for the Black and Gold teams.
They came out furiously and were cornered. The international team responded in a way that alarmed the American team.
This group played like one and the camaraderie was very evident. They came together and proved that the Presidents Cup is a must-see event.
It's something to behold when the Presidents Cup approaches like this. Friday gave fans a great show, so anyone who pushes this event to the side needs to check themselves. The national team will not lie down again this weekend and there is a good chance they will upset Team USA.
After a super fun day, take a look at some of our favorite photos and quotes from our second day at Royal Montreal.

The international team had a great celebration on Friday. My favorite thing I saw was the look of pure bliss on their faces. But the dark expressions on the Americans' faces made it clear what happened during the Friday Foursome session.
