Weird and wonderful day ends with angry confrontation between McIlroy and Cantlay caddie

The confrontation continued into the carpark, with Rory McIlroy restrained by Shane Lowry.

HEATED EXCHANGE: Rory McIlroy was involved in an altercation in the car park.

Finally, a pulse. After a woeful opening day where the US endured a record-equalling five-point deficit spilled into a brutal morning with another three foursome defeats, on Saturday afternoon they showed some life to bring the scoreboard back to 10.5-5.5.

It finished with the sun setting behind the 18th and Patrick Cantlay sinking his third clutch putt in a row. Cantlay and Wyndham Clark‘s success over Matthew Fitzpatrick and Rory McIlroy was their third point from the fourballs.
