2016 Ryder Cup - Day Two Summary

Posted

United States Leads after two days

For the sixth time since 1979 the United States holds the Ryder Cup lead heading into Sunday’s Singles session. The score is 9½ to 6½. In 2012 Europe came back to win after trailing 10-6 prior to Sunday’s matches.

With their 2 and 1 victory on Saturday afternoon, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed tied Arnold Palmer and Gardner Dickinson for most career points by a U.S. Ryder Cup partnership with five. Palmer and Dickinson had a perfect 5-0-0 record together, while Spieth and Reed currently stand at 4-1-2.

Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters beat Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka 3 and 1.

European rookies Matthew Fitzpatrick, Andy Sullivan and Chris Wood will be well-rested before tomorrow’s Singles matches. Each played just one match through the first four sessions.
