The second match pits Paul Casey-Viktor Hovland against Dustin Johnson-Collin Morikawa. The third game is between Lee Westwood-Matthew Fitzpatrick and Brooks Koepka-Daniel Berger. Finally, Patrick Cantlay-Xander Schauffele will compete against Rory McIlroy-Ian Poulter. The event ends on Sunday. (ANSA).
