‘Fleetwood Mac’ were again on song as Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood helped Europe to another strong start on the second day of the Ryder Cup.

The pair were in perfect harmony in the Saturday morning foursomes as they looked set to deliver another point for Luke Donald’s side, who came into the day with a 5.5-2.5 lead following an excellent opening day.

Having demolished Collin Morikawa and Harris English 5 and 4 on Friday morning they were taking the same opponents to the cleaners again, sitting four up at the turn.

American captain Keegan Bradley had stood by Morikawa and English but his faith looked misplaced.

McIlroy and Fleetwood recovered from a slow start, where they went one down at the first, to win the second, third, fifth, seventh and eighth holes.
