Team Europe have made an incredible start to the Ryder Cup, earning a first morning whitewash over the USA in Friday’s opening foursomes.
The action began bright and early in front of a partisan crowd at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, with captain Luke Donald selecting the feisty pairing of reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm and England’s Tyrrell Hatton to kick off Team Europe’s bid for glory after their record humbling at Whistling Straits two years ago.
