Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg trampled Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka 9 and 7 in a record-breaking Saturday morning foursomes session, and Team Europe are five points away from winning the 44th Ryder Cup this weekend in Rome.
Europe lead the United States team 9 ½-2 ½ after winning three of the four matches on Saturday morning at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, with four four-ball (best-ball) matches still to come.
The United States are on the brink of handing over the Ryder Cup after winning in a 19-9 demolition two years ago at Whistling Straits.
Hovland and Aberg, the Scandinavian rising stars from Norway and Sweden, respectively, won nine of 11 holes playing foursomes (alternate-shot) against two of the US team's most decorated golfers, leaving Scheffler to wipe away tears after the thorough trouncing.
