Play gets underway in the USA

Clad in the red, white and blue of their national flag, the US Ryder Cup Team forged ahead on the fairways of Medinah Country Club, as they put in an early bid to win back the Ryder Cup from their European opposition. In navy and white windowpane checked trousers, white polo tops and navy knitwear, the Americans were keen to set the pace as they took the morning Four Ball result of 2-2 to a comfortable lead of 5-3 after the afternoon Foursomes matches.
