It is the worst defeat in Ryder Cup history in foursomes or fourballs and a woeful morning for the five-time major champion and the world number one continued Europe's dominance at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome. The Scandinavian duo were simply too good in the Saturday foursomes, finishing six-under-par on their ball through 11 holes, while Koepka and Scheffler were a dismal seven-over-par for their morning. A pair of double bogeys in the first three holes set the tone for the demolition job. And the embarrassment is heightened for Koepka after his spiky comments directed at Jon Rahm on Friday afternoon. The reigning PGA champion – the only LIV Golf player taking part in the event – blasted Rahm after the Spaniard salvaged a half for Europe in his foursomes match alongside Nicolai Hojgaard against Koepka and Scheffler with a remarkable eagle on 18. A frustrated Koepka said: "I want to hit a board and pout just like Jon Rahm did. But, you know, it is what it is. Act like a child. But we're adults. We move on.' Koepka and Scheffler played superbly on Friday, but they were denied by the sheer brilliance of Rahm, who mustered improbable eagles on two of the final three holes to drag his team level. On Saturday, however, the American pairing was pitiful. For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US . It was child's play for Hovland and Aberg, who must not have believed their luck against such a ragged American combo. Koepka was wayward off the tee while Scheffler's woes on the green continued as Luke Donald's team extended their massive lead to 7.5){kind=link}
