International captain Mike Weir has left out Tim Kim from his Friday foursomes line-up as the home side looks to fight back after Team USA dominated the opening day of the Presidents Cup.
Jim Furyk's Americans powered into a 5-0 lead with a clean sweep of Thursday's opening fourballs matches, as they look to make it 10 wins in a row in an event they've only lost once in its 14-year history.
In front of a subdued crowd at Royal Montreal Golf Club, the visitors dominated proceedings and it will take something monumental for the International side to claw their way back.
Kim will not be part of that first session of the comeback though, as he sits out following his fiery encounter with Scottie Scheffler on the opening day.
Kim sits as Weir picks Canadian pair
Kim and Scheffler had some loud and at times pretty heated clashes during their match, which the World No.1 eventually won 3&2 playing alongside Russell Henley.
Korean livewire Kim will not have the chance to immediately strike back though as he sits out day two along with Australian Min Woo Lee.
Si Woo Kim comes into the line-up after sitting out the opening day, along with Canadian Mackenzie Hughes - as long as he's sobered up having last been seen chugging a beer on the first tee in front of the home crowd.
Weir has selected his first all-Canadian pair of the tournament with Hughes playing alongside Corey Conners, and maybe that team can liven up the crowd and possibly spark something for the struggling Internationals.
Familiar pairings for Team USA
For Team USA, Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has a rest after winning on day one as does Sam Burns, with Max Homa and Brian Harman coming in and rekindling their partnership from Rome last year.
Homa and Open champion Harman won two out of three matches in last year's Ryder Cup and will look to find some similar form here.
Double Major champion Xander Schauffele is reunited with his old buddy Patrick Cantlay and Scheffler and Henley go again after winning that controversial match on Thursday.
