ROME (Reuters) -Marauding Scandinavian duo Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg plundered the biggest win in modern Ryder Cup history as they dished out a fearful beating to American duo Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka on Saturday.

Showing as much mercy as a pair of true Vikings, they left their bewildered opponents in ruins on Rome's Marco Simone course, claiming an astonishing 9&7 win in the second foursomes of the day as Europe tightened their grip on the contest.
