Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy both delivered as Luke Donald’s side made a perfect start.
Gavin Cooney Europe 4 USA 0 RORY MCILROY AND SHANE Lowry helped secure Europe’s first-ever clean sweep of a morning session at a Ryder Cup as the hosts raced into a 4-0 lead over the United States after the Friday foursomes in Rome.
McIlroy then hit a brilliant tee shot to close out a tense 2&1 win with Tommy Fleetwood in the final match against Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.European captain Luke Donald had opted to switch the usual schedule and open with the alternate shot foursomes instead of fourballs in the hope of a “fast start” which his team delivered in style.
“I wanted to give Sepp his moment to hole a winning putt!”, smiled Lowry afterwards. “We are off to a great start and we need to keep the foot down. Sepp and I gelled well together and I enjoyed myself out there.
