• Cameron Young is the first American rookie to win his first two Ryder Cup matches, both by at least 4 holes, since Patrick Reed in 2014.
Only three American players won each of his first three career Ryder Cup matches, each by at least 4 holes: Tom Arnold Palmer (first 4, 1961-1963), Tom Watson (first 3, 1977-1981) and Tedd Kroll (first 3, 1955-1957).
• Europe is the first team to win each of the first three sessions of a Ryder Cup on foreign soil (all-time).
• Today marks the sixth time that Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele have been paired together in a Ryder Cup match. Their record is 3-2-0, including yesterday’s four-ball victory over Hovland/MacIntyre.
The only more frequent American pairings in the Ryder Cup are Jordan Spieth & Justin Thomas (9 times) and Jordan Spieth & Patrick Reed (7 times).
• When Fleetwood & McIlroy lost the first hole today in foursomes, it marked the first time they had ever trailed in a Ryder Cup match as partners.
• Since the start of the 2023 Ryder Cup, and through Friday’s foursomes session, the Europeans are 10-2 in alternate shot play.
• Cameron Young, paired with Justin Thomas yesterday, did not lose a single hole in his Friday four-balls match.
