Ryder Cup diary

Simon Lewis looks at talking points from Ryder Cup day one.

Fowler the main man

It took until his third Ryder Cup appearance to win his first full point but now Rickie Fowler has a victory to his name, you would not bet against him quickly adding more. Fowler teamed superbly with fellow Californian Phil Mickelson to complete a stunning victory over Rory McIlroy and Andy Sullivan in the morning foursomes, having been 2 down after 14 holes.
