Follow live coverage of the 2023 Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome in Italy
The American fighting spirit we thought we would see this week finally appeared on Saturday afternoon, but not from the players we necessarily thought would be leading those efforts. Entering the afternoon session down by seven points, Sam Burns and Collin Morikawa started things off and blistered the incredibly hot Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg, 4&3.
Patrick Cantlay birdied 17 and 18 to steal a full point from the tandem of Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick, a moment made for the content gods after the report he was not wearing a hat as a means to protest player payment. When the ball dropped in the cup, all 11 teammates began waving their hats towards him.
But the Americans won four full points in 16 matches, and the list does not include any of the supposed big guns. Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth went 0-2 Saturday and 0-2-1 overall, and Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka suffered the worst loss in Ryder Cup history Saturday morning.
