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.
