The Friday afternoon Four-Balls are complete, and Europe leads the United States 5.5-2.5 after Day 1.
The two squads are back on the tee bright and early tomorrow for Saturday Foursomes. Here’s the matchups:
Match 1 (7:10 a.m. ET)
Bryson DeChambeau & Cameron Young (USA) vs. Matt Fitzpatrick & Ludvig Åberg
Just as he led off on Friday morning, DeChambeau again will be first out for Saturday Foursomes alongside rookie and U.S. Team bright spot Cameron Young, who won his first career Ryder Cup match on Friday afternoon. DeChambeau was unsuccessful in his Friday Foursomes match with Justin Thomas, and is now 0-3-0 in Foursomes. Cameron Young does have previous Foursomes experience in the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow, going 1-1-0. They’re pitted against a well-oiled European pairing that had a solid Foursomes showing on Friday: they won 5&3 over Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley, compiling 7 birdies and claiming 7 of the 15 holes in their match.

Match 2 (7:26 a.m. ET)
Harris English & Collin Morikawa (USA) vs. Rory McIlroy & Tommy Fleetwood (EUR)
It’s a rematch of the opening Foursomes session between English, Morikawa, McIlroy and Fleetwood in Match 2, which ended in a 5&3 victory in favor of the Europeans on Friday morning. McIlroy and Fleetwood were up in their match from the first hole and eventually shook hands on the 15th green as they extended their enviable unbeaten Foursomes record in the Ryder Cup to 4-0-0 together. It was an imbalance of experience the first time around as the U.S. Team came up against one of Europe’s most successful Foursomes pairings in recent history, with English playing his first Foursomes match in Ryder Cup history. Fleetwood now has a 5-0-0 career record in Foursomes, McIlroy 8-5-1 and Morikawa 3-1-0.

Match 3 (7:42 a.m. ET)
Xander Schauffele & Patrick Cantlay (USA) vs. Jon Rahm & Tyrrell Hatton (EUR)
Match 3 is one of familiar and successful Ryder Cup pairings. Schauffele & Cantlay claimed the lone Friday morning Foursomes point for the United States, beating Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland, 2-Up in the anchor match. Cantlay and Schauffele are now 3-2-0 in Foursomes together. They’ll go against another European pairing that is etching itself a brilliant team history in Rahm and Hatton. The two have not lost a match in Foursomes play, going 3-0-1 together in Ryder Cups. Rahm is 5-0-0 in Foursomes, which puts him in elite company, while Hatton is not far behind with a 3-1-0 record in Foursomes.

Match 4 (7:58 a.m. ET)
Russell Henley & Scottie Scheffler (USA) vs. Robert MacIntyre & Viktor Hovland (EUR)
The anchor match in the Foursomes session is a battle of two teams who are yet to taste success in this Ryder Cup. While MacIntyre and Hovland were the only European team to lose on Friday morning, beaten 2 UP by Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, Donald is confident for them to go again in search of a different result. World No.1 Scottie Scheffler is so far 0-2-0 at Bethpage this week, having also lost his Foursomes match alongside Rookie Russell Henley 5&4 to the impressive team of Matt Fitzpatrick & Ludvig Åberg. He will also be hoping to get some points on the board for the U.S. Team, as he goes in search of improving a now 0-3-0 career record in Ryder Cup foursomes.

In Foursomes, each two-man team plays one ball per hole with the players taking turns until each hole is complete. Players alternate hitting tee shots, with one leading off on odd-numbered holes, and the other hitting first on even-numbered holes. The team with the low score on each hole wins that hole. If their scores are tied, the hole is halved.
To understand how the captains select their pairings for these formats, we put together a selection primer to help.
