At 2:30 a.m. on Friday, as I fumbled for a cup liter of coffee, I flipped on the TV looking for some American dominance early at the 2018 Ryder Cup in Paris. That’s exactly what I got (never mind that I should have flipped my TV off at 8 a.m. — we’ll get to that).
The Yanks won three of four matches early, and Rickie Fowler helped them to the rout by pairing with Dustin Johnson to take down Thorbjorn Olesen and the artist formerly known as Rory McIlroy.
Fowler poured in four birdies, the Americans won 4 and 2 and it looked as if Europe may get run out off the course for the second straight Cup.
