El norirlandés Rory McIlroy (i) y el inglés Tommy Fleetwood (d) celebran su victoria en el duelo de foursomes del sábado en Bethpage Black Golf Course.

Overview

  • Europe needs only 2.5 of the 12 singles points on Sunday to keep the trophy at Bethpage Black.
  • The visitors won six of eight foursomes and controlled the fourballs, becoming the first away side in 46 years to take the opening three sessions.
  • Jon Rahm pushed his foursomes mark to 6–0 alongside Tyrrell Hatton, while Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Shane Lowry delivered pivotal wins.
  • World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler became the first top-ranked player to lose his first three Ryder Cup matches and ended Saturday 0–4.
  • Heated spectator behavior prompted added security and zero‑tolerance reminders as McIlroy confronted hecklers, and President Donald Trump attended only the opening day.
