Day Two!
Good morning and welcome to our coverage of day two at the Ryder Cup!
It was Team Europe’s day yesterday, with Luke Donald’s side stopping the Americans from picking up a single point at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club – the first time they’ve failed to win a point during a day at the Ryder Cup in the history of the tournament.
Europe steamed ahead to a 4-0 lead in a superb morning session, before they. would overturn what looked to be a 3-1 swing to the US Team in the afternoon, with all of Viktor Hovland, Jon Rahm and Justin Rose halving their matches with superb putts on the 18th green in dramatic fashion.
While the US Team fought back in the afternoon, Europe would ultimately take a 6.5-1.5 lead heading into Saturday.
So as we gear up for day two, we’ll be recapping on all the action and fall out from what was a thrilling day in Rome…
