Europe Three Points Away From Winning Ryder Cup Outright After Fiery Day Two
Europe leads by five points as key player Viktor Hovland sits out with injury and crowd disruptions intensify, challenging the US team's comeback efforts.
- On Saturday at Bethpage Black, Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood helped Team Europe make a fast start, delivering a stunning performance that put them firmly in control of the contest.
- Fleetwood and Rose thrashed Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler 3&2 while McIlroy and Shane Lowry edged Justin Thomas and Cam Young 1UP, with McIlroy’s birdie two on the 14th securing key points.
- A day of high drama saw Shane Lowry held back by his caddie, a fan ejected by New York State Police, and a four-minute delay as Rory McIlroy refused to putt amid boos.
- Data shows Europe need another 8.5 points to retain the trophy or nine to win it outright, while the United States team must win both remaining sessions to mount a comeback.
- With Hovland stood down due to a neck issue, he is expected to be fit for Sunday singles, where opening with Justin Rose or Jon Rahm could ease pressure on McIlroy.
