US remain in charge at Medinah

The sign in the sky said ’Do It for Seve’, but it was the Americans – most notably Keegan Bradley and Phil Mickelson – who were still in charge as the Ryder Cup neared the halfway point in Chicago.

Davis Love’s side, minus Tiger Woods after he was benched for the first time in his career, took the second morning foursomes 3-1, just as they did the first-day fourballs, and that meant an overall 8-4 advantage at Medinah.
