Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns will take on Min Woo Lee and Sungjae Im in the first match of Thursday's fourballs at the Presidents Cup, as captains Brandt Snedeker and Geoff Ogilvy revealed their pairings for the opening session.

Snedeker's Team USA are looking to extend their winning streak to 11 consecutive victories over the International team at Medinah Country Club this week, with International Team skipper Ogilvy admitting he was "optimistic" of his team's chances on Wednesday.

Cameron Young and Xander Schauffele were picked to go out in match two and will take on Hideki Matsuyama and Ryo Hisatsune.

Snedeker has chosen to pair experienced Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup player Justin Thomas alongside 21-year-old rookie Jackson Koivun for match three.

They'll take on Canadian Corey Conners and Nico Echavarria of Colombia.

A blockbuster group will go out in the fourth match of the day, with two-time major champions Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa facing the reigning Open champion Ryan Fox and 2013 Masters winner Adam Scott.

Chris Gotterup will pair with Patrick Cantlay in the final game of the fourballs session against Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim.

Match one will get under way at 5.35pm (UK and Ireland time), live on Sky Sports Golf, with the International team set to take the honours off the tee.

Despite being good friends, Scheffler and Burns have struggled together in past team events, with the duo having fallen to an underwhelming record of 0-3-1 in four matches at the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup.

"Do I think we have unfinished business? I don't know if I would call it that," Burns said.

"It's been frustrating the times we have played together, and we feel like we've played really well and ultimately not won," Burns said. "It's been more frustrating than anything.

"Yeah, this week we're going to go out and compete as hard as we can and try to get as many points for the US team as possible."

Team USA captain Snedeker also surprised fans by choosing to separate friends Cantlay and Schauffele, who have regularly paired together in team events over the years. Jim Furyk similarly opted to part the duo for the opening fourballs of the 2024 Presidents Cup.
