Nearly 28 hours into the Ryder Cup, the two rookies clinched the Americans’ first full point by beating Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka 4 and 2 in morning foursomes Saturday at Marco Simone.
“We obviously are in a big hole but we have the right guys to dig ourselves out of it,” Homa said.
Homa and Harman were playing again in Saturday’s fourballs against Tommy Fleetwood and Nicolai Hojgaard — meaning Homa will be the only American to play in all five sessions.
Homa and Harman never trailed against Lowry and Straka — also a first for the Americans at this Ryder Cup.
As Harman said, “It was good to come out and at least put red up on the board."
