MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The Internationals were left to rue what might have been after a late U.S. fightback in the Presidents Cup foursomes kept them nipping at their heels on Friday but captain Ernie Els says his rookie-laden team are ready to bite back on a pivotal day three.

Having dominated the fourballs 4-1 on Thursday, the Internationals led in all five of the foursomes matches on day two but were ultimately held to a 6.5-3.5 lead due to some brilliant putting on the 18th hole by the Americans.
