Why change what works? That’s European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald’s theory.
After winning the Day 1 foursomes, 4-0, Donald is sending out the same four teams for the alternate-shot format on Saturday.
The U.S. is mixing it up a bit, down 6 1/2 to 1 1/2. Two of its teams (Max Homa/Brian Harman and Xander Schauffele/Patrick Cantlay) are the same as Friday morning, but Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, along with Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler, will move from Day 1 fourball combos to foursomes.
Here’s a look at the Day 2 foursomes matches, with coverage beginning at 1:30 a.m. ET on USA Network and moving to NBC at 3 a.m. Featured foursomes and fourball matches can be seen on Peacock. Click here for the full TV schedule and links.
