Farmingdale (United States) (AFP) – United States captain Keegan Bradley will turn to top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau to revive his squad in Saturday morning foursomes matches even after they each lost twice Friday. In pairings released Friday after Europe seized a 5.5-2.5 lead following day one, DeChambeau was in the first match and Scheffler in the anchor match.
DeChambeau and Cam Young, a local product who won with Justin Thomas in four-ball in his Cup debut, will face Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg and England’s Matt Fitzpatrick in the first match Saturday at 7:10 am (1110 GMT). Aberg and Fitzpatrick won 5&3 over Scheffler and third-ranked Russell Henley in Friday foursomes.
