SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Both Ryder Cup captains mixed up their pairings for the afternoon fourballs session at the Ryder Cup.
Neither skipper sent out a repeat pairing for the afternoon, despite the Americans leading, 3-1, after the first session. The U.S. hasn’t trailed after the opening session since 2006, but it is 2-4 overall in those matches.
U.S. captain Steve Stricker split up two of his successful pairings for the afternoon, separating Dustin Johnson (Xander Schauffele) and Collin Morikawa (bench), as well as Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay (Justin Thomas). Brooks Koepka and Daniel Berger, who won their opening match, 2 and 1, also won’t play in the afternoon fourballs session.
