Americans Get to Within a Point after Fourball Session Saturday Morning


The American team scored two and a half points in Saturday morning's fourball session for the second straight day at the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland.

Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan beat Jamie Donaldson and Lee Westwood 4 and 3. Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth again proved formidable, beating Thomas Bjorn and Martin Kaymer 5 and 3.

Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson won their third point for the Europeans, edging Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar 3 and 2. In the fourth match, Jimmy Walker and Rickie Fowler got a halve - for the second straight day - with Sergio Garcia and Rory McIlroy.

The Americans head into Saturday's foursomes trailing Europe 6½ to 5½. On Friday, the Europeans won three of four foursomes - and halved the other - to take a 5-3 lead into Saturday.
