Big blow for European Ryder Cup hopes as McIlroy beaten by Patrick Reed

That’s a big, big point for Davis Love.

DARREN CLARKE SENT Rory McIlroy out first this evening at Hazeltine to get Europe’s comeback charge going. But it hasn’t worked out like that.

The Northern Irishman has been beaten by America’s talisman, Patrick Reed after an incredible battle.

Moments earlier, the visitors had pegged back the Americans to within two points thanks to Henrik Stenson’s 3&2 win over Jordan Spieth.

Thomas Pieters then saw off JB Holmes 3&2 to get a little more blue on the board.

The score is now 10.5 to Europe’s 8.5.

    Great to see an Irish presence in the squad this week . Last week was the French barbarians.
    Great to see Adam Byrne get a shot , Leinster didn’t do him any favours the last while with game time , hopefully he kicks on in Connacht next season

    @Michael Uzice: He’s always injured plus he’s had some very good wingers ahead of him James Lowe, Jordan Larmour, Jimmy O’Brien, Rory O’Loughlin who have all been fit

    @Harry O’Callaghan: I’m not disputing who’s ahead of him in pecking order all I’m pointing out is that Leinster management didnt give him much game time lately and he was not injured .
