Ryder Cup 2023 LIVE! Latest scores, updates and results as Team Europe leave USA winless on Friday

Ryder Cup 2023 LIVE!

The 2023 Ryder Cup got underway in stunning fashion for Team Europe with a Friday to remember. Team USA, who have not won a Ryder Cup away from home since 1993, did not win a single match on the opening day.

Luke Donald opted for foursomes in the opening session and it paid off handsomely as Europe raced out of the blocks. with Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton took down Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns in the top match, before the exciting pairing of Viktor Hovland and rookie Ludvig Aberg also delivered. Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka sealed a third point, before Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood sealed the sweep.

The focus shifted to fourball action this afternoon, where the Europeans had to battle much harder but managed to somehow extend their advantage. Rahm, Hovland and Justin Rose all holed massive putts on the 18th green to earn half a point, as the Americans were left stunned in Rome. They will need to pull off a remarkable weekend comeback.
