Garcia and Ram once again provided Europe’s only point in the Quartet

Europe’s hopes of retaining the Ryder Cup took another blow as they lost their four-legged match on Saturday 3-1 to overtake the United States by a record 9-3 after three sessions in Wisconsin.

Jon Ram and Sergio Garcia were once again the only winners in Europe, as they fought from three down after five holes to beat Brooks Koepka and Daniel Berger 3 & 1.

The win expands Garcia’s single points tally to 27 and means he has won 24 games, more than any other player.

But it was another session in which Europe was as poor on the green of Whistling Straits as the Americans were in control, and every player on the home team contributed to the result.

Justin Thomas, who teamed up with his good friend Jordan Spieth to win a point in the quartet, celebrated by swallowing a can of beer and spraying the rest on the first tee to the delight of the already prolific American fans waiting for the four balls session. Start.

This is the third straight round that the Americans have won 3-1 with four four-ball games running through Saturday. Followed by 12 singles matches on Sunday, with the United States needing to reach 14 points to reclaim the cup.

Europe needed a quick start if it was to eat away at the record four-point deficit their hosts had opened up on day one.

However, Koepka and Berger won the first three holes of Game One and was followed by Dustin Johnson and Collin Morikawa in Game Two against Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton.

Ram and Garcia started the fight on day six, while rookies Victor Hovland and Bernd Weisberger won three of their first six holes to clear Thomas and Spieth.

And when Matt Fitzpatrick slotted in by five feet to win the long fifth in the last game, the momentum was definitely turning toward the guests on another cold morning near Lake Michigan.

Garcia chipped off the front of the ninth green to settle his match and then digs with a birdie for a twelfth place finish.

Then Casey and Hutton started to work their way back four down on the turn, winning holes 11 and 13, and when Casey’s second shot broke through dramatically in fourth 14 from 107 yards, it looked like that match could swing in Europe. Way.

But elsewhere, the momentum was with the Americans. Hovland missed hits on the ninth and tenth holes to allow Speth and Thomas to equalize.

Meanwhile, Zander Shaveli and Patrick Cantlay were hiding in long jumpers on the seventh and ninth and took more control of their game against Fitzpatrick and Westwood when the English duo fell into the 10th and 11th holes.

In the first match, Garcia whipped firewood in the fairway to six feet in a sixteenth position for five feet to set up a Ram Lancer that effectively finished their match.

But this point hid Europe’s problems. Hutton had an awful hole number 15, coming out woefully short as he got close to the green, then losing it by five feet to half as he and Casey finally surrendered a 2&1.

I have summed up his struggles and the struggles of Europe.

Wiesberger and Hovland missed a shot on holes 14 and 15 as Spieth and Thomas moved from one to the other, and although the match was the last, another European foul – Wiesberger hit a stream – gave the point away.

And in the final, Westwood and Fitzpatrick could not stop the attack, losing 2 and 1 on 17.
