Europeans deliver more punishment to the U.S.

President Trump did not attend Day 2at the Ryder Cup. That was about the only difference Saturday as Europe sent out its same foursomes teams, filled the scoreboard with blue points and delivered a crushing blow to the Americans.

Rory Mcllroy told the crowd to shut up —heuseda few other words — for shouting before he could hit a shot. More powerful was his partnership — with Tommy Fleetwood that produced seven birdies in another romp over Harris English and La Cafada High graduate Collin Morikawa.

Jon Rahm improved to 6-0 in foursomes, teaming with Tyrrell Hatton again in a 3-and-2 victory over Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schautffele, the first loss of the week for either American.

“You need your superstars to perform at their highest, and they certainly have showed that so far,” European captain Luke Donald said of Rahm and Mcll-roy.

That wasn't the case for the American superstar.

Scottie Scheffler made history ofhis own — the first No. 1 player in the world to lose his first three matches in the Ryder Cup. He had a chance to earn a halve in the anchor match, and instead delivered a clunker of a lob wedge and missed the green from 104 yards away.
