Europe dropped only two points on Saturday to extend its ruthless demolition over the home team 11½ to 4½ on the second day of the Ryder Cup, as U.S. captain Keegan Bradley was left searching for answers at Bethpage Black.
The visitors were 2½ points away from retaining their title after going 3-1 in the morning foursomes and 3-1 in afternoon fourballs in front of an increasingly loud partisan crowd.
Europe is only the second team under the current 28-point system to win each of the first four sessions at one Ryder Cup since the 2006 European team and the first to lead by more than 11 points heading into singles.
