PARIS -- Europe entered Saturday with a two-point lead. The U.S. needed a strong morning session at Le Golf National. Instead, the Americans are getting thumped.
Here's what's happening on Day 2 at the Ryder Cup:
SCORE: EUROPE 8, UNITED STATES 4
Morning session: Four-ball
How it happened: Garcia and McIlroy sprinted out to a big lead, standing up 4 up though six holes. They were still four up through 13 holes, with both players making big putt after big putt.
