McIlroy and Lowry team up again in Saturday's fourball session

The Irish pair go up against Justin Thomas and Cameron Young.

SHANE LOWRY AND Rory McIlroy will again team up in Saturday’s fourball session at the Ryder Cup.

Europe now lead the USA 8.5-3.5 after Saturday’s foursomes at Bethpage, winning 3-1 in the format for a second consecutive day.

The Europeans became the first team to win the first three sessions of a Ryder Cup on foreign soil.

With 12 concluding singles matches on Sunday, holders Europe need 14 of 28 points to keep the Cup while the Americans must take 14.5 points to reclaim the trophy.

Today’s fourballs open with Americans Thomas and Young facing world number two McIlroy and Lowry.

Winless world number one Scottie Scheffler joins Bryson DeChambeau against England’s unbeaten Tommy Fleetwood and countryman Justin Rose.

Scheffler, 0-3 this week, and DeChambeau, 1-2, unite to face the English duo followed by J.J. Spaun and Xander Schauffele facing Austrian Sepp Straka and unbeaten Jon Rahm of Spain.

The final fourball match pits Americans Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay against Viktor Hovland and Matt Fitzpatrick.
