CHASKA, Minn. — Being “the best” goes out the window when you’re involved in the Ryder Cup.

The best European team? Clearly, it’s Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose, but they’ve been split up for Saturday morning’s foursomes session.

Instead, captain Darren Clarke has asked the heavyweights to shepherd rookies Matt Fitzpatrick (Stenson) and Chris Wood (Rose) through the rigors of their first Ryder Cup match.

As for the “best” American player, that would be Dustin Johnson. And he’ll be found on the bench Saturday morning, as will Matt Kuchar. It reflects the lackluster play that Johnson and Kuchar displayed in a 3-and-2 loss to Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters in Friday afternoon’s four-ball session.

Here are the pairings (times are Central):

7:35 a.m.: Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson vs. Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters
7:50 a.m.: Brandt Snedeker and Brooks Koepka vs. Henrik Stenson and Matt Fitzpatrick
8:05 a.m.: Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson vs. Justin Rose and Chris Wood
8:20 a.m.: Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth vs. Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera-Bello
