Viktor Hovland elated after the Saturday Foursomes Match

On Day 2, Team USA's Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka were paired against Europe teammates Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg. The American team needed a good start to catch up with Team Europe.

However, things didn't go their way as the American pair were down six after eight holes of the match. They double-bogeyed two of the first three holes and bogeyed the third one. This led Team USA to lose 9&7 to the young European pair.

Hovland was elated with the win as this was the largest margin of victory ever in an 18-hole match at the biennial competition.
