Overview

• Team Europe swept six of eight points on Saturday to open a seven‑point advantage and move within three of an outright win.
• The PGA of America increased security with New York State Police on-course, ejected multiple spectators, and stepped up fan‑conduct messages.
• Rory McIlroy faced repeated heckling, told one spectator to be quiet in explicit terms, and at times refused to play until the crowd settled, with Justin Thomas urging silence.
• Heated exchanges included Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood’s match against Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler, and a reported fight broke out in the 18th‑green grandstand.
• Captains split over crowd behavior as Luke Donald said some fans crossed the line and Keegan Bradley called them passionate; singles feature Scottie Scheffler versus McIlroy, while Hovland’s status remains pending an MRI with a withdrawal triggering a halved match.
