Team Europe have edged closer to victory in the Ryder Cup but are not yet out of sight after Saturday’s action. Luke Donald’s side enjoyed a dream opening day in Rome, preventing Team USA from winning a single match, and while the foursomes brought more success, the USA won the final session. The Europeans lead 10½-5½ heading into te final day.

Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg raced to a remarkable 9&7 win over Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler on Saturday morning, but the European pair then suffered a heavy defeat themselves at the hands of Sam Burns and Collin Morikawa. Tommy Fleetwood partnered up wit Nicolai Hojgaard for the fourballs and they were beaten by Max Homa and Brian Harman, who won twice on the day.

Justin Rose and Robert MacIntyre needed late drama as they halved their fourballs match on Friday and remained unbeaten with a win over Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, before Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick ran into a late putting clinic from Patrick Cantlay and Wyndham Clark as the Americans snuck one final point late in the day.
