Unbelievable start, historic day, but job not done – Europe captain Luke Donald

The home side also staged three dramatic comebacks in the afternoon fourballs to ensure the United States failed to win a single match in the day.

Europe captain Luke Donald insisted his side would not rest on their laurels after claiming a record-equalling five-point lead on the opening day of the 44th Ryder Cup.

“Unbelievable start, historic day, but we want it to be an historic week so the job is certainly not done,” said Donald, whose team lead 6.5-1.5. “We’ll enjoy the last hour [of play] and the celebration, but once I’m back at the hotel we’ll have a team meeting and we’ll be back to business.” Justin Rose then also birdied the last to ensure the five-point advantage and match Europe’s lead at Oakland Hills in 2004, when US captain Hal Sutton disastrously paired Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson twice on the opening day.
