The American duo went on to a 4 & 3 win, putting the United States ahead 11 1/2-6 1/2.

In all, the Americans took 4-of-5 four-ball matches amid another weather delay at Muirfield Village, where parts of three sessions were played Saturday following Friday's similarly wet weather.

Foursome play was begun Saturday, with all five matches progressing to the back nine before play was halted for the day.

The foursome round is to restart at 7:35 a.m. EDT Sunday, with singles matches to follow at 9 a.m. with more rain predicted.
