Ryder Cup 2021: Saturday pairings, tee times, TV, streaming information, betting odds
The U.S. team dominated on Day 1 at Whistling Straits, taking a 6-2 lead for its largest opening-day advantage in 46 years.
Team USA — which has been victorious in just one of the previous five Ryder Cups — won both sessions Friday to build a 6-2 lead, sending an experienced European team to its largest deficit after the opening day since the rest of Europe joined Great Britain and Ireland for the 1979 Ryder Cup in an attempt to make the event more competitive.
Whistling Straits, the Haven, Wisconsin-based links-style course, is hosting its first Ryder Cup, but has hosted three PGA Championships (2004, 2010 and 2015).
