About this programme

Further coverage of the opening day of the biennial tournament at the Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in Scotland, the 43rd staging of the Ryder Cup-style event for amateur players. When the tournament was last played in 2009, the team from the USA finished day one with an overall lead of four points, with current PGA Tour star Rickie Fowler claiming victories in his foursomes match with Bud Cauley in the morning and in his singles match in the afternoon. The team from Great Britain and Ireland will be hoping Tom Lewis, who shared the lead in this year's Open Championship at the end of the first round, can prove as influential for his team.
