GLENAGLES, Scotland (AP) – A capsule look at Friday’s matches in the Ryder Cup:
FOURBALLS
Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, Europe, def. Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson, United States, 5 and 4.
Webb Simpson popped up his tee shot. Bubba Watson asked for the crowd to make noise during his opening tee shot and went into the rough. That wasn’t nearly as ominous a sign as the rest of their match. Stenson birdied the par-5 second hole and the European team – neighbors at Lake Nona in Florida – didn’t have to do much after that. Watson and Simpson didn’t make a single birdie over 18 holes. They were 3 down at the turn, and the match ended on the 14th hole. Simpson and Watson won both fourballs matches at Medinah at 5 and 4. That was the score in this one, too.
Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker, United States, halved with Thomas Bjorn and Martin Kaymer, Europe.
