Europe draw level in Ryder Cup

Europe got back on level terms with victory in the first foursomes match on the opening day of the 40th Ryder Cup at Gleneagles on Friday.

Trailing by a point after the morning fourballs, home captain Paul McGinley gave Lee Westwood and Jamie Donaldson their first taste of the action and was rewarded with a hard-fought win over Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar.
