Europeans trump Americans again to take commanding Ryder Cup lead at Bethpage Black | amNewYork
"Europe has raced into a commanding three-point lead at the Ryder Cup after narrowly winning the Friday afternoon fourball session, building on a dominant performance in the morning foursomes. With President Donald Trump among the crowd, the Europeans shaded the afternoon session by 2.5-1.5 to build on the 3-1 lead they had established earlier on Friday, with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler again enduring a difficult round on Bethpage Black."
"It was Keegan Bradley's Team USA who claimed the first point of the afternoon session after Thomas and Young ran riot against Aberg and Hojgaard, who failed to win a single hole in a 6&5 defeat. Thomas and Young shot an impressive nine birdies between them in 13 holes to seal the biggest win of the tournament so far, winning four of the last five holes."
