Team Europe Ryder Cup Pairings – Day 1
The pairings for the four foursome matches in the morning session on Friday – Day 1 of the 2023 Ryder Cup were officially announced at the Opening Ceremony at Marco Simone.
Captain Luke Donald opted for three entirely new pairings, with the only pairing that have played together before being Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. It started perfectly for the Europeans, with the Rahm/Hatton pairing winning the first match 4&3, followed by another 4&3 triumph for Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland.
The pairing of Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka produced a third win for Europe in the morning with a 2&1 victory. The fourth and final fourball match saw Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood defeat the Schauffele/Cantlay pairing 2&1.
The fourball Ryder Cup pairings for the afternoon golf session have now been announced too. Viktor Hovland and Tyrrell Hatton get things going for the Europeans, with Jon Rahm paired with rookie Nicolai Hojgaard in game two.
Experienced Ryder Cup player Justin Rose is paired with debutant Robert MacIntyre in the third fourball pairing, with Rory McIlroy & Matt Fitzpatrick the fourth a final fourball pairing on Day 1 of the 2023 Ryder Cup.
This means Luke Donald has utilized his full 12-man squad squad during the opening two session on Day 1. This is so he can get an idea of who is playing well, who is in form and who may be struggling ever so slightly on the golf course.
