KOHLER, Wis. :The United States followed a solid foursomes performance with an equally dominant fourballs session to grab a commanding 6-2 lead over holders Europe in difficult scoring conditions at Whistling Straits on Friday.

Sergio Garcia, who went out in the day's first group with fellow Spaniard Jon Rahm, equalled Nick Faldo's record for Ryder Cup match wins with 23 but that was the only highlight on what proved to be a rough day for the European side.After a near-perfect morning for the United States, the hosts padded their lead when Ryder Cup rookie Harris English and Tony Finau beat McIlroy and Shane Lowry 4&3.

Playing in front of a home crowd lacking much in the way of European support due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, the hot start by the United States included impressive performances from Ryder Cup rookies Cantlay and Schauffele. The visitors put the first point on the board as Garcia and Rahm enjoyed a 3&1 win over Jordan Spieth and Thomas.
