Jon Rahm added to his legend in the Ryder Cup to inspire Europe after a record-equalling five-point lead was carved out on an extraordinary opening day of the 44th Ryder Cup.

The fiery Spaniard was sensational throughout the foursomes in a dominant with Tyrrell Hatton before combining with Nicolai Hojgaard to earn a half point.

Brooks Koepka then took a swipe at the Masters champion, with Team USA winning just 10 holes all morning and in need of a miraculous comeback, although Zach Johnson confirmed much of the team has been suffering from illness.
