A capsule look at the morning foursomes and afternoon fourballs matches Saturday in the Ryder Cup, which ended with a split. Europe still leads by five points.
Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg, Europe, def. Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka, United States, 9 and 7.
Europe built yet another big lead early, and it looked to turn on the back nine when Rahm birdied the 11th for a 3-up lead. The Americans came charging back and squared the match three holes later, and Cantlay made a pressure 6-footer to halve the 15th with a bogey. But on the 16th, Cantlay chipped a little too strong and Schauffele missed an 8-foot birdie, right after Hatton holed his birdie putt from 15 feet. Rahm was inches away from an ace on the 17th, and Cantlay drilled his iron to 6 feet.
Homa and Harman resumed their leadership on the golf course by never trailing and handing Fleetwood his first loss of the week. Homa opened with birdies on three of the first six holes for a 3-up lead, and his eagle on the 12th hole restored a 4-up lead. This looked to be in hand, but the Europeans made them work for it. Hojgaard birdied the 14th. Fleetwood chipped in for eagle from just off the green at at 16th to get to 2 down with two to play.
