The 45th Ryder Cup gets underway on Friday morning at Bethpage Black with the opening foursomes session.<\/p>\n

And it will start with a bang.<\/p>\n

American linchpin Bryson DeChambeau will lead things off alongside Justin Thomas against the European foursomes duo of Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. DeChambeau is 0-2 in his foursomes career, both losses coming in his debut in 2018, while Rahm and Hatton have never lost in two foursomes matches together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey bring a spark to our team,\u201d U.S. captain Keegan Bradley said of his leadoff pair. \u201cBryson has been an incredible teammate in the locker room, and we really wanted him to lead our team out with Justin in the first match.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four matches will be contested in this first session, with the first match scheduled for 7:10 a.m. ET. Four four-ball matches will follow in the afternoon, with Saturday\u2019s schedule mirroring that of Friday before Sunday\u2019s 12 singles matches.<\/p>\n

In the last eight Ryder Cups, Europe has been seven points better in the foursomes format, while the home side has won foursomes in nine straight editions.<\/p>\n

As for the importance of the first session: Since 1979, when the format changed to five sessions, the leading team after the first session is 9-5-1.<\/p>\n

In other matchups, Scottie Scheffler will partner with rookie Russell Henley again after they went 1-1 in foursomes at last year\u2019s Presidents Cup. They\u2019ll face a new partnership in Ludvig \u00c5berg and Matt Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

Viktor Hovland and Bob MacIntyre is also a new pair for European captain Luke Donald. They\u2019ll go against the veteran U.S. duo of Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, who are 6-3 in Cup foursomes.<\/p>\n

In the third match, it\u2019s Collin Morikawa and Harris English versus Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, who went 2-0 in foursomes in Rome two years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can watch all of the action and get all the updates for the 45th Ryder Cup matches at Bethpage Black.<\/p>\n

Sitting for each side: American rookies J.J. Spaun, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, plus Sam Burns, who debuted in Rome; Europeans Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, Sepp Straka and Rasmus Hojgaard.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s two years ago, Rome \u2013 players evolve, players change, their profiles change, so again, you\u2019re looking at personality matchups,\u201d Donald said. \u201cWe have so many options that it\u2019s really quite fun for me as a captain, but we know the U.S. are going to be strong, they\u2019re strong in foursomes and have some amazing partnerships there, and we wanted to bring our best as well. And this is what we feel is our best.\u201d<\/p>\n
