[5] International Team players were chosen on the basis of the Official World Golf Ranking through the 2011 BMW Championship.

Choi beat Woods and Stricker 7 & 6, tying the record for largest margin of defeat in the short history in the Presidents Cup in what was the International team's only win of the day.

By winning his match Phil Mickelson became the leading points scorer in the Presidents Cup with 21, passing Vijay Singh's record of 20.5.

[10] Tee times were brought forward by two hours because of the threat of storms later in the day.

The Internationals dodged a major bullet on the first hole when they made a 10-foot par putt and then Woods missed a 6-foot birdie.

The American team was in cruise control for the whole morning session, and never at any point did the Internationals lead in more than one match.

Haas/Kuchar also got off to a quick start with an early 2 up lead but Els/Ishikawa would catch up to them on the back nine to win the only International victory of the morning.

Woods/Johnson got off to a slow start due to putting woes, and were 1 down after 6, but they bounced back to win when the Scott/Choi struggled.

The Watson/Simpson team, despite a perfect 3–0 record, struggled this session and were unable to make many birdies and lost to Goosen/Schwartzel 2 & 1.

The Internationals got off to the start they wanted in effort for a miraculous comeback by winning the first four matches.

Kim stepped up for the Internationals, and sank a 12-foot birdie on 17, followed by a 6-foot par on 18 to win the match.

Schwartzel and Ishikawa took control of their opponents Johnson and Watson, respectively, early in the match and never relinquished their leads.

Mickelson, who was 3-0 prior to the Sunday singles, and had played exceptionally well with his teammate Furyk the first three days, struggled out of the gate, making bogeys on the first five holes to go four down to Adam Scott.

He took the lead for good when Kuchar missed a 12-foot par putt on 16, and held on to win the match.

Furyk played solidly all day, winning his match over Els to earn a perfect 5–0–0 record for the week.

Allenby, a controversial captain's pick for the Internationals, struggled all week, and continued again in his match against Toms, losing 7 & 5.
