Schauffele and Johnson shine in hosts’ dominant start
Team USA flexed its muscle at wind-whipped Whistling Straits on Friday, dominating Europe 6-2 to launch its quest to regain the Ryder Cup.
Olympic gold medallist Xander Schauffele and World No. 2 Dustin Johnson put two points each on the board for the hosts, who dominated the morning foursomes 3-1 then rode the momentum through a gritty afternoon of four-balls to take their biggest day-one lead in 46 years.
Europe led in three of the four afternoon contests but came up with just one point from two tied matches as the USA won another two.
