World number one Scheffler and the five-time major champion Koepka were seen as one of USA captain Zach Johnson's prime pairings at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome. But they suffered a humbling defeat in the foursomes to a rampant Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland. The Scandinavian duo romped to a record-breaking 9&7 victory, going an incredible six-under-par in the alternate shot format. The Americans, meanwhile, were ragged from the very first tee shot, shooting a pair of double bogeys in the first three holes. And Scheffler and Koepka finished an awful seven-over-par through 11 holes by the end of the match, and as news filtered around the course, Thomas' reaction summed up the mood of the American fans in the galleries. "Nine and seven," Thomas appeared to say with a shocked and puzzled expression to his caddie Jim "Bones" MacKay during his match alongside Jordan Speith. And the two-time major champion's mood only worsened as he and Spieth let their match against Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood slip away in the closing holes, falling to a 2&1 defeat that extended Europe's massive advantage after a disastrous opening day for Johnson's charges. Scheffler and Koepka's defeat surpassed the 7&6 beating suffered by Ken Brown and Des Smith to Hale Irwin and Tom Kite at the 1979 Ryder Cup, making it the worst defeat in the competition's history. For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US. Scheffler was reduced to tears as he reflected on the match with his loved ones watching from the other side of the ropes.
