Ryder Cup 2025 live: Day 1 scores as Rahm-Hatton battle DeChambeau-Thomas in foursomes

A decently played second hole from Europe sees the combo of Aberg and Fitzpatrick come away with a par.

Scottie Scheffler has the chance to win the hole though.

His putt is similar to the one Justin Thomas missed. No such thing happens for the World No.1, he rolls it in superbly and gives himself a fist pump.

US are back level in the second match.

Dechambeau and Rahm both miss the green on the third hold.

Thomas’s chip out of a bunker leaves a gettable putt for par but Hattan chips within gimme range for Europe.

That adds a bit of pressure on Dechambeau’s putt but he calmly rolls it home.

US still 1UP after three but Europe beginning to click in this first match.

Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood are Europe’s third pairing for the foursomes.

As expected McIlroy is met with plenty of jeers from the partisan crowd but he smiles it off. Both players seem relaxed as they make their way to the first tee.

Quickly the European fans take over with chants of ‘is this a library?’ when the US fans go silence.

Collin Morikawa and Harris English seems a little non-plussed about things.

McIlroy has the driver in hand and whacks it over the trees just finding the right side rough.

English is up for the US and lands on the left side of the faiway.

A sensational second shot on the first from Matt Fitzpatrick leaves a simple opportunity for Aberg.

He rolls it in confidently and Europe go 1UP in the second match as Henley misses his chance.

Tyrell Hatton plays a fine putt from a ways back with a slight bit of curl on it.

He leaves a tap in for Rahm but the opportunity is there for the US to double their lead in the opening match.

Justin Thomas has the birdie putt but he slides it just past the hole on the left.

He indicates to Dechambeau that he expected that to turn more. Both teams make par and the US remain 1UP.

Europe have the advantage in the second match. Henley’s drive actually finished in the left hand rough and Scottie Scheffler chips on to around the same length of Jon Rahm’s birdie effort.

Matt Fitzpatrick shows him how it’s done and leaves Aberg with two-three feet for a birdie!

Up on the second hole, Bryson Dechambeau attacks his approach shot and leaves a perfect chance for Justin Thomas just off to the right of the hole.

Rahm’s approach is slightly further out and below the hole leaving the Europeans with a trickier shot once again.

“Matt Fitzpatrick got some heat on the first tee there.

“He was lined up for the pre-match photo looking considerably smaller than Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Aberg in particular. ‘Who’s the kid on the right?’ shouted one fan to much laughter.

“‘Fitzy, you’re a nerd!’ went another, followed by a chant to “tuck you shirt in”. The crowd have picked a target, it seems.”

Ludvig Aberg and Russell Henley are on tee duties with both safely secure using the driver.

The fairways are found and both pairs of players head off into the course.

“Is that the shot they talk about for years to come?

“If DeChambeau and Thomas secure the first point in an eventual USA victory, that bold move from Bradley will be hailed as genius. DeChambeau looks dialled in after draining that putt with both Rahm and Hatton a little shaky.

“Russell Henley, meanwhile, receiving a lot of love, despite playing with the world No1 Scottie Scheffler.”
