Two moments

  1. Rain suspended the Friday four-balls at 9:43 BST. The Americans were unhappy with their rain suits and bought replacements from the pro shop, and the schedule was rebuilt into four sessions ending on a Monday (a first).
  2. McDowell went dormie with a birdie on 16 and beat Mahan 3 & 1 in the anchor match. Earlier, Rickie Fowler came back from 3 down with 3 to play to halve with Edoardo Molinari.
