Brandt Snedeker admits he cannot explain why his U.S. team keeps getting swept in foursomes at the Presidents Cup.

U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker called his team's repeated foursomes failures the "million-dollar question" after the International team swept Friday's alternate-shot session 5-0 at Medinah Country Club, dropping the Americans into a 7-3 deficit.

The sweep marked the second consecutive Presidents Cup where the U.S. team was shut out in Friday foursomes, following a similar 0-5 performance at Royal Montreal in 2024. Snedeker expressed bewilderment despite his team's preparation and what he considered correct pairings decisions.

Scottie Scheffler's foursomes record dropped to 1-8-0 across Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup competitions after losing 1-down with Sam Burns to Nick Taylor and Corey Conners. Snedeker acknowledged that pairing the world number one in foursomes might not have been the right decision despite their friendship.

The captain made questionable pairings including Cameron Young and Justin Thomas, who lost 3-and-2 to 46-year-old Adam Scott and world number 104 Christiaan Bezuidenhout. Snedeker admitted he "just kind of felt like I'd roll with it" rather than following analytical data.

The Americans now face a four-point deficit with 20 matches remaining, needing to overcome their format struggles while four more foursomes matches await Saturday afternoon. Snedeker provided no solutions beyond hoping his players would figure it out in future sessions.
