Raphaël Jacquelin was also on hand for the Europeans, as an assistant. Furyk named Davis Love III as a vice-captain, soon after his appointment in January 2017. He later added Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods in February 2018. On 4 September 2018, Furyk named David Duval, Zach Johnson, and Matt Kuchar as additional vice-captains.

Pairings were announced after the Opening Ceremony on Thursday. The first point of the 2018 Ryder Cup was won by Team USA, with Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler winning 4 & 2 against Rory McIlroy and Thorbjørn Olesen. Despite being two up with six holes to play, Jon Rahm and Justin Rose lost out to Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau on the 18th hole, while Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas also won by one against Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton, putting Team USA 3 -- 0 ahead. A spectator struck by Koepka 's drive on the 6th hole lost the sight in one eye. Coming back from two down, Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari defeated Tiger Woods and Patrick Reed 3 & 1 to secure Team Europe 's first point of the tournament, and to end the first morning 3 -- 1 in favour of Team USA. Results Koepka / Finau 1 up Rose / Rahm Johnson / Fowler 4 & 2 McIlroy / Olesen Thomas / Spieth 1 up Casey / Hatton Reed / Woods 3 & 1 Molinari / Fleetwood Session Overall Afternoon foursomes Europe 's first clean sweep of the afternoon foursomes in the history of the Ryder Cup saw Team Europe end the day 5 -- 3 ahead of Team USA. Sergio García and Alex Norén won 5 & 4 over Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy and Ian Poulter came from two down after the first three holes to beat Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson 4 & 2, Fleetwood and Molinari repeated their morning success with a 4 & 3 win over Spieth and Thomas, while Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson beat Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler 3 & 2. Results Johnson / Fowler 3 & 2 Stenson / Rose Watson / Simpson 4 & 2 Poulter / McIlroy Mickelson / DeChambeau 5 & 4 García / Norén Thomas / Spieth 5 & 4 Molinari / Fleetwood 0 Session Overall 5 Saturday 's matches Morning fourballs The Saturday fourballs saw Europe continue to dominate with wins for García / McIlroy ( 2 & 1 ) against Koepka and Finau, Casey / Hatton ( 3 & 2 ) against Fowler / Johnson and Molinari / Fleetwood ( 4 & 3 ) against Reed / Woods. Team USA secured their only point of the morning session with Thomas and Spieth defeating Poulter and Rahm 2 & 1, to leave the overall tournament at 8 -- 4 in Team Europe 's favour. Despite the strong performance, Team Europe captain Thomas Bjørn reiterated : `` Nothing 's won, we 're just over the halfway stage. There 's no bit happiness yet, there 's still a determination and work to be done ''. Results Koepka / Finau 2 & 1 García / McIlroy Johnson / Fowler 3 & 2 Casey / Hatton Reed / Woods 4 & 3 Molinari / Fleetwood Thomas / Spieth 2 & 1 Poulter / Rahm Session Overall 8 Afternoon foursomes The afternoon session was drawn 2 -- 2. It saw Team Europe 's Molinari and Fleetwood win for the fourth time, a European record in the Ryder Cup, this time 5 & 4 over Woods and DeChambeau. Team USA 's Spieth and Thomas defeated Poulter and McIlroy 4 & 3, while Simpson and Watson 's green play saw them defeat Europe 's García and Norén 3 & 2. The fourth pairing saw Rose and Stenson narrowly beat Johnson and Koepka 2 & 1 as a result of some good putting late in the round. Results Johnson / Koepka 2 & 1 Stenson / Rose Watson / Simpson 3 & 2 García / Norén Woods / DeChambeau 5 & 4 Molinari / Fleetwood Thomas / Spieth 4 & 3 Poulter / McIlroy Session 6 Overall 10 Sunday 's singles matches The United States put their best players at the top of the card on Sunday, and despite the four point deficit threatened a comeback in the singles, as they won 3.5 points from the first five matches. Justin Thomas beat Rory McIlroy on the final hole as the latter 's approach found the water, and Tony Finau defeated the previously unbeaten Tommy Fleetwood 6&4. However, from then on Europe dominated, winning the next six matches to lead 161⁄2 -- 91⁄2. Guarantees of at least a half - point each for García and Stenson ( both of whom later got full points ) meant that victory was already assured before the 141⁄2 - point winning post was officially reached when Phil Mickelson, already three holes down, found the water on the 16th hole and conceded the hole and match to Molinari, who became the first player for Europe to score what is now the maximum possible five points in a single Ryder Cup. The remaining two matches were shared between the teams, leaving the final score 171⁄2 -- 101⁄2 to Europe. Sergio García 's singles win made him the all - time Ryder Cup points leader, with 251⁄2 points in nine appearances, overtaking Nick Faldo 's 25 points in 11 appearances.
