Roared on by a partisan crowd, the home side never trailed at any point in all four matches and their opponents won just 10 holes all morning. Rahm and Hatton had acquired the nickname of “Team Angry” due to their fiery nature, but they could afford to be all smiles as they gelled superbly to get Europe off to the ideal start.
That led to a conceded eagle and the out-of-sorts American pair were soon put of their misery on the 15th. “I would have liked to close out the match earlier because we had good chances, but it was nice to put a point on the board for Europe.”
