Both Irish golfers will be teeing up in the opening foursomes at the Ryder Cup tomorrow morning.
In the anchor match, the undefeated American foursomes pair from 2021 of Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele go up against World Number Two Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, who is undefeated in foursomes at the Ryder Cup.
Shane Lowry and rookie Sepp Straka will be in action in match three against Collin Morikawa who claimed two points from two in foursomes in 2021 and the returning Rickie Fowler.
Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton will go up against Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns in the opening foursomes match at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club.
World Number One Scheffler will lead off the U.S. Team’s attempt to win a Ryder Cup on European soil for the first time in 30 years, while Rahm will go out in his continent’s first pairing for the second consecutive Ryder Cup at 7.35am local time on Friday.
Three Rookies feature in match two as Ludvig Åberg – who only turned professional in June – goes straight into the action for Europe alongside fellow Scandinavian Viktor Hovland.
They will take on Open champion Brian Harman and Max Homa, with US Captain Zach Johnson putting faith in a Rookie duo who have nine PGA TOUR wins between them.
The games will be live on Sky Sports throughout the weekend with live coverage starting from 06:00 Irish Time and the first ball being struck at 06:35.
