Just one recognizable distinction is the absence of Rory McIlroy, who will be sitting down out a session for the first time in his Ryder Cup career.

Odds: Koepka/Berger +138 Rahm/Garcia -105 Tie +6000
Prediction: Garcia/Rahm 2 and 1

Breakdown: Morikawa, 24, has currently received two important championships, the exact same quantity as Johnson, who is 37. Morikawa is 1 of the very best ball strikers in the planet, when Johnson, a former Environment No. 1, seems to be obtaining his kind at the ideal time. Morikawa is a streaky putter, but DJ’s putter was crimson-hot on Friday. Casey shed two matches on the opening working day.

Wiesberger, the initially Austrian to compete in the Ryder Cup, is the cheapest-ranked player on either group, but he held his possess and performed fairly effectively on Friday.
Odds: Spieth/Thomas -137 Hovland/Wiesberger +180 Tie +600
Prediction: Spieth/Thomas 2 and 1

Schauffele is a two-time runner-up in majors championships and received a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. On Friday, Schauffele became the very first U.S. rookie to go 2- on the very first day due to the fact Keegan Bradley in 2012.
