Americans Xander Schauffele and Tony Finau will battle the international duo of Jason Day and An Byeong-hun in the first of five fourball matches in the opening session of the Presidents Cup on Thursday in Montreal.

It has been a breakthrough season for Southern California's Schauffele, who triumphed at this year's PGA Championship and British Open and is ranked a career-best second in the world.
