Jim Furyk has stuck with a winning combination and selected Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler to lead off Team USA in the Ryder Cup Friday foursomes, as Tiger Woods sits out.
The pair will face European stalwarts Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose after despatching Rory McIlroy and Thorbjorn Olesen 4&2 in the opening session, where Team USA opened up a 3-1 lead.
Woods and playing partner Patrick Reed have been left out by Furyk following their loss to Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari, with the four players who did not feature on Friday morning being selected by both teams for the afternoon session.
Ian Poulter replaces Olesen as partner to McIlroy, who failed to register a birdie in his opening match, with Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson facing the European pair.
The final match sees Fleetwood and Molinari join forces once again after their 3&1 victory, the only European win of the morning session, with Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas their opponents.
