欧洲队于贝斯佩奇黑球场开局迅猛，琼·拉姆、泰瑞尔·哈顿、卢德维格·阿伯格、马特·菲茨帕特里克、罗里·麦克罗伊与汤米·弗利特伍德组合在四人两球赛中接连取得压倒性胜利。

欧洲队再次展现出强劲实力，但杨（Young）仍是他们难以摆脱的眼中钉。13岁前，他更多时间在打冰球和棒球，直到与父亲在暴雨中同游苏格兰——期间二人接连挑战了圣安德鲁斯老球场、新球场、卡诺斯蒂、金斯邦斯和古兰球场——这位纽约人的志向就此转变，如今他正首次出战莱德杯。作为力量型击球手，他独特的挥杆顶点停顿令人印象深刻。随着奥伯格（Aberg）再度推杆失误，杨与托马斯（Thomas）的组合已领先三洞。

Europe are looking solid again, but the player who continues to be a thorn in their side is Young. He played more ice hockey and baseball before the age of 13, but after a rain-lashed trip to Scotland with his father during which the pair played St Andrews Old and New courses, Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and Gullane the New Yorkers focus shifted and he is now playing in his first Ryder Cup. He is an enormous hitter, with that distinctive pause at the top of his backswing, and is three up alongside Thomas after another missed putt from Aberg.
