What a start for the Americans. 4-0.
Yes, Team USA made a clean sweep of the Europeans in Friday morning foursomes at the 2016 Ryder Cup. It’s the first time in 35 years that the U.S. has swept a Ryder Cup session 4-0 and the first time in 41 years the Americans have taken the opening session 4-0.
Here’s all four winning moments from the morning.
First… Patrick Reed (and Jordan Spieth) close out Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose, 3 and 2.
