Rory McIlroy has already become a problem at Bethpage.<\/p>\n
After a foursomes victory alongside Tommy Fleetwood on Friday morning to help the Europeans take the opening Ryder Cup session 3-1, McIlroy joined four-ball forces with pal Shane Lowry against Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns in Friday afternoon\u2019s anchor match.<\/p>\n
McIlroy\u2019s side lost the first hole, but the Americans\u2019 advantage didn\u2019t last long. And McIlroy put the pedal down in a huge way with electric birdie makes to win Nos. 6 and 7.<\/p>\n
The first came after a pitch from 46 yards to 12 feet at the par-4 sixth, a birdie that gave the Euros their first lead and ignited McIlroy, who screamed loudly, \u201cC\u2019mon!\u201d<\/p>\n
Then at the par-4 seventh, McIlroy hit his approach from 209 yards to 25 feet. He canned that one, too. 2 up. Similar celebration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rory McIlroy has already become a problem at Bethpage.
