INCHEON: International team captain Nick Price has shuffled his pack hoping to get "something to click" after going 4-1 down to the US Thursday at the Presidents Cup.
The American team dominated the first day's foursome play at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon, South Korea, as they look to extend their 17-year unbeaten streak in the team match play event.
While US captain Jay Haas kept all of his four winning pairs together for the second day, Price is desperate to find some winning combinations after a chastening first outing.
Haas opted to first put out the big guns, world number one Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson, and Price countered with his lone day one winners Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen.
After that it's all change for the International team as Price chose to field two all-Australian teams of Adam Scott/Jason Day and Marc Leishman/Steven Bowditch to try to turn the match around.
They will take on Zach Johnson/Phil Mickelson and J.B Holmes/Bubba Watson respectively.
Charl Schwartzel has been ill all week with a flu-type virus but is fit enough to appear alongside Thongchai Jaidee against the two Americans who sat out Thursday, Chris Kirk and Bill Haas.
And rookie South Korean Bae Sang-Moon gets his chance with Korean-born Kiwi Danny Lee in a pairing that will thrill local fans, against Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker.
