Overview

  • Team Europe extended its advantage through Saturday’s foursomes and fourballs to carry a seven-point cushion into the final day.
  • The United States must reach at least 14.5 points to win the Cup, leaving a steep comeback task in the 12 singles matches.
  • Key wins by pairings including Rory McIlroy/Tommy Fleetwood and Jon Rahm/Tyrrell Hatton set the tone, while the U.S. managed only one point in Saturday’s afternoon session.
  • Rory McIlroy confronted hecklers on multiple occasions, including an obscene gesture on Friday and a blunt call for quiet on Saturday during shot preparation.
  • Security was tightened for President Donald Trump’s day-one visit with a low flyover reported, and New York State Police removed two spectators as officials posted conduct warnings to manage the raucous crowd.
