It was a historic start for the European side in Italy.
ROME – Team Europe came out swinging on Friday morning, sweeping all four foursomes matches in the first session of the 44at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club. It marked the first time the Euros have grabbed a 4-0 lead in Ryder Cup history.
“We can’t get complacent at all,” McIlroy said. “This is an unbelievably long American Team. Last week the American girls went up 4-0 in the first session there and Europe were able to come back, so we are not taking anything for granted here. It’s a great start but we need to keep our foot on the pedal and keep winning points.”Match 1: Jon Rahm/Tyrrell Hatton def.
“I don’t care if they’re friends, they need to split them up,” former Ryder Cupper Hunter Mahan said on the Sky Sports broadcast. Hovland had one of the biggest fist pumps you’ll ever see at 8 a.m. local on the first hole and it set the tone for the match. Playing in his first home Ryder Cup, Hovland said he fed off the crowd.
American Brian Harman had a good chance at 10 to cut into the deficit but missed his birdie effort. That was the story of the match as the U.S. side made just two birdies and were closed out after Hovland splashed close to the hole at 15 to seal the deal. Euros lead 2-0.Match 3: Shane Lowry/Sepp Straka def. Rickie Fowler/Collin Morikawa, 2&1
Europe now 3 up. This is the first time one side has won the first three matches in a Ryder Cup – with none reaching the 18th hole – since the United States did it in 1979.Match 4: Rory McIlroy/Tommy Fleetwood def. Patrick Cantlay/Xander Schauffele, 2&1Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy grabbed a 2-up lead with birdies at Nos. 2 and 8 and held off efforts by Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele to mount a comeback. The final outcome was a 2-and-1 win to complete the historic morning sweep.
