The Ryder Cup has witnessed a remarkable turn of events, with Europe taking a historic five-point lead over the United States. The European team, led by Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy, has been performing exceptionally well, with Rahm remaining unbeaten in the tournament. Rahm’s impressive chip-in shot from the rough while standing in a bunker on the eighth hole was a highlight of the match, helping him and his partner Tyrrell Hatton secure a 3&2 victory over Americans Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.
This win contributed significantly to Europe’s 8.5-3.5 lead over the United States after the first two sessions. The European team’s success can be attributed to their clutch putting and impressive shot-making under intense pressure. The team’s captain, Luke Donald, expressed pride in his team’s performance, stating that they want to make it a historic week.
The United States, on the other hand, faces a significant challenge in trying to overcome the deficit. With 28 matches remaining, they need to win 14.5 points to take back the Cup. The Americans will likely need to improve their performance significantly if they hope to mount a successful comeback.
