BBC Sport: It is understood that Patrick Cantlay has refused to wear a cap this week because he is not getting paid to play in the biennial contest. The US players were paid to play in the Presidents Cup - a Ryder Cup equivalent against a rest of the world team. Cantlay was also the only US player to not wear a cap in their team photos. --- I'd play for my own country for free.

BBC Sport: Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg stormed to a record Ryder Cup victory that left world number one Scottie Scheffler in tears as Europe surged further ahead. Europe won three of the four morning foursomes in Rome to stretch their lead over the United States to 9½-2½. Hovland, and rookie Aberg, aided by some poor play by Scheffler and Brooks Koepka, romped to a 9&7 triumph. And there was no questioning what a record defeat meant to Scheffler either as the Texan broke down as he was driven away on a buggy. Max Homa and Brian Harman combined to give the Americans their first full point of the contest with a 4&2 win. But it was scant consolation as the visitors were again trounced in the alternate shot format, amid reports of unrest in the US team.

Saw Saw X (2023), see what I did there, last night. I enjoyed the film with one or two misgivings. The highlight of the film was the sole focus on John Kramer/Jigsaw. Amazing to think Tobin Bell is 81. Setting the film between Saw (2004) and Saw (2005) was a great move. This was Saw 1.5. I will say the mandatory twist and the third act lost its way with me. 10. Spiral (2021). 9. Jigsaw (2017). 8. Saw 3D (2010). 7. Saw V (2008). 6. Saw IV (2007). 5. Saw III (2006). 4. Saw X (2023). 3. Saw VI (2009). 2. Saw II (2005). 1. Saw (2004).

We had a Miracle of Medinah by Europe. The USA needs a Ressurection in Rome.

Europe 9 1/2 to USA 2 1/2. It's the biggest gap ever at this stage of any Ryder Cup.

9&7 Hovland/Aberg v Scheffler/Koepka (F). The biggest victory in an 18-hole match EVER in the Ryder Cup!

FTFY.

I understood that reference, birthday boy!

Enjoy, you lucky bugger!

BBC Sport: To illustrate Europe's dominance, they did not trail in any match and won 22 holes to the American's 10 as the defending champions suffered a demoralising morning. It is the first time Europe has won an opening session since 2006, at the K Club in Ireland, and they went on to win all five sessions in that Ryder Cup - the only time that's happened for either side - as they romped to an 18½-9½ victory.

4-0. It is the first time Europe have won all four opening session matches.

Europe up in all four foursome matches. Four up in one. Three up in two. One up in one. Dream start for Europe. Disaster for the USA.
