Kiwi Ryan Fox had a mixed day on his Presidents Cup debut as the United States took a 3-2 lead over the Internationals following the opening four-ball matches.
Playing with Australian Adam Scott, Fox went out of bounds off the tee at the second hole and had to wait until the seventh hole before his first birdie of the day.
Fox and Scott eventually went down 3 and 2 to Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa.
World No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns rallied late in the opening match of the day to ensure the US held the day one lead.
In the marquee match-up of the opening day at Medinah, Scheffler and Burns edged South Korean Im Sung-jae and Australian Min Woo Lee 1-up to establish a slender US lead in a golf tournament it traditionally dominates.
