While Scottie Scheffler’s Ryder Cup woes continued, alongside world No3 Russell Henley, with a 5&3 defeat to sensational combination of Ludvig Aberg and Matt Fizpatrick.Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood proved too strong for Collin Morikawa and Harris English, dominating the match to win 5&4.
And there was more blue on the leaderboard in the fourballs, with Rahm delivering another point alongside Sepp Straka, downing Scheffler and rookie JJ Spaun 3&2, followed by Fleetwood and Justin Rose’s 1up victory over DeChambeau and rookie Ben Griffin. Thomas rallied alongside New Yorker Cameron Young, storming to a 6&5 win over Ludvig Aberg and rookie Rasmus Hojgaard.
