KOHLER, Wisconsin (Reuters) - Sergio Garcia demonstrated his Ryder Cup prowess yet again on a difficult opening morning for Europe at Whistling Straits as the Spaniard equalled the record for match wins in the competition.

In tandem with world number one and fellow Spaniard Jon Rahm, the 41-year-old revelled in the partisan atmosphere created by the American fans alongside Lake Michigan, playing beautifully to beat Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth on Friday.
