Overview

• Team Europe leads 11.5-4.5 after two days, a modern-format record margin, and needs three points on Sunday to win outright.
• Event organizers increased security presence, including New York State Police on-course, with at least two spectators ejected for abusive behavior.
• Rory McIlroy faced repeated taunts, paused over shots until crowds quieted, and remains unbeaten through four matches.
• Heated exchanges added to the tension, notably a confrontation involving Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Bryson DeChambeau and their caddies during the afternoon session.
• Viktor Hovland developed a neck problem, underwent an MRI and is uncertain for singles, as announced pairings include Scottie Scheffler versus McIlroy.
