What could Friday’s Ryder Cup action mean for the next two days in Rome? By Tom White, PA Sport Data JournalistThe United States failed to win a single match as Europe equalled the biggest day-one lead in the modern format of the Ryder Cup. Here, the PA news agency looks at how Friday’s success compares and what it could mean. American players won the first seven matches to finish before Padraig Harrington and Lawrie stopped the rot. Jim Furyk beat Garcia, though, to make it 14-12 and Olazabal’s miss after the commotion at the 17th meant an eventual 14 1/2 13 1/2 home win.
