Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler recorded the worst 18-hole loss in Ryder Cup history Saturday as Team USA continues to flounder.

Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler were paired together for the second day of foursomes at the 44th Ryder Cup. On paper, that sounds like a formidable duo. Scheffler is the number one ranked player in the world and Koepka is a five-time major champion.

But they were anything but formidable Saturday.

Koepka and Scheffler were humiliated and embarrassed by Viktor Hovland and Ryder Cup rookie Ludvig Aberg, 9 & 7. They suffered the worst foursome loss in the 96-year history. The previous record was 7 & 5, done most recently in 2012 by the American duo of Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley.

The match was an absolute bloodbath from the very beginning. Team USA lost each of the first four holes and it only got worse from there.

That prompted some pretty epic reactions online, including someone referencing the bloodiest of bloodbaths in television history, Game of Thrones’ ‘The Mountain vs. the Viper’ battle.

But that wasn’t the only accurate reaction from fans.

Following Team USA’s historic loss Friday, Koepka took a direct shot at Jon Rahm. It came across like sour grapes from the reigning PGA Championship winner.

So, some fans were happy to point out the irony of this loss.

But most fans were just blown away by the sheer volume with which they lost.

However you slice it, Koepka and Scheffler were decimated and it created a really bad look for the former.

Team USA trails 7.5 to 1.5 with the Europeans leading two other foursomes. This tournament be over before Sunday singles even arrive.
