The Presidents Cup coverage continues on Saturday with Tiger Woods and the American team taking on the International team and the number one golfer in the world has his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn in tow and Davis Love III will be using the good luck from his new pet as the tournament continues over the weekend.
The US is taking the lead in the competition after foursomes were played and and the international team was able to pull a draw to keep the score the same heading into the Saturday play. Woods and partner Matt Kuchar have done a good job playing with each other and while the weather has not been great, the team has done enough to stay ahead and they are setting themselves up for a win.

Woods had a very good day driving the ball and on top of that, the team was lifted by a mascot found by Davis Love III in a little squirrel, which Woods' girlfriend Lindsey Vonn couldn't help but play with, putting the little creature on Woods' shoulder at the end of the day. The team is taking a 3½-2½ lead into Friday and Jordan Spieth helped things out at the end of the day, as he and Steve Stricker saved par on their last hole to finish things out.
According to ESPN.com, the American team was able to win out in fourballs for the first time in 10 years and now Muirfield will have the teams again on Friday. Woods has traditionally played better in Presidents Cup play than the Ryder Cup and he added his 21st career win on Thursday, with girlfriend Vonn watching once again. Vonn has been with Woods at many tournaments and many have felt that is one reason why he has played well all year.
The US has dominated recently and some of the other pairs include Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley and Hunter Mahan and Brandt Snedeker, while some of the international pairs include Jason Day and Graham DeLaet, and Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. The tournament will be going on through the weekend.
Woods also won the Farmers Insurance Open as well as the WGC-Cadillac Championship and overall he won two World Golf Championship events. After winning the award he was congratulated by his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn on Twitter and he said to reporters afterwards that he felt it was very special to win the award.
Woods already won PGA tour Player of the year this season and he has won five times on tour. Woods was solid on the greens and looked comfortable playing with Kuchar and now they will get another chance to go at it.
