HAVEN, Wis.—Padraig Harrington and the Europeans need to turn the tide, and do so quickly Saturday at Whistling Straits. They will look to a pair of Spaniards to move Big Mo in their direction.

After coming out on the business end of Thursday 6 to 2, the Europeans have pegged Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia—the only team to win a full point on Friday—to run it back in foursomes Saturday morning as the first group out. They will take on Brooks Koepka and Daniel Berger; the former Florida State teammates took down Lee Westwood and Matt Fitzpatrick in Friday’s foursomes.

Westwood and Fitzpatrick are also back together Saturday, this time facing Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay in the anchor match. Sandwiched between is Dustin Johnson and Collin Morikawa against Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton, and Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth battling Viktor Hovland and Bernd Weisberger.

Notably absent is Rory McIlroy, who is sitting out his first session in his Ryder Cup career. McIlroy lost both of his matches on Friday, and has scored just two points in his last eight Ryder Cup matches going back to 2016.

The Americans will be looking to win their third Ryder Cup in their last four home appearances, while a victory for Team Europe would be their eighth in the last 10 events.
