"So happy to get a point on the board" - Rory Mcllroy on his victory at the Ryder Cup

Rory Mcllroy recently revealed the secret behind his team's stunning lead at the 2023 Ryder Cup after the first day.

The Northern Irish golfer paired with Fleetwood and won their morning foursome match on Friday. The former World No.1 said that Europe team captain Luke Donald's tactics helped them to pull a historic 4-0 win in the foursome match.

Speaking about the tournament on Sky Sports, McIlroy said:

"It's been an unbelievable session. We switched the format this year to go foursomes first because statistically that's out better session and all this week we've been talking about getting off to a fast start."

Rory Mcllroy went on to talk about his practice session saying:

"Playing three hole matches and practice, three holes go again, three holes go again is something the captain Luke has drilled into us. We were ready to go from the first tee shot as you can see from how everyone played... So happy to get a point on the board for Europe."

The 2023 Ryder Cup will have its finale on Sunday, October 1.
