KOHLER - At 9am (EDT) today, coverage of the 43rd Ryder Cup switched from Golf Channel to NBC and as they made the switch, the USA team of Brooks Koepka and Daniel Berger were 3-up after three holes over Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia, Europe and Spain’s very best.

In the second match this morning, Dustin Johnson and Collin Morikawa began Saturday morning foursomes just as hot as their teammates, and led (at 9am) by an impressive - 3-up through three - against Europe’s Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton.

Europe’s Bernd Wiesberger and Viktor Hovland grabbed a 1-up lead over Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth while Lee Westwood & Matt Fitzpatrick were just in progress against their American hosts, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele.

It’s all in the start of Day 2 at Whistling Straits after the US staked the largest Day 1 lead in 46 years on Friday.
