European captain Luke Donald has picked a series of heavyweight pairings – including reuniting Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood – as he looks for the visitors to make a fast start at Bethpage.

“We want to start strong obviously,” said Donald.

Bryson DeChambeau/Justin Thomas v Jon Rahm/Tyrrell Hatton

Scottie Scheffler/Russell Henley v Ludvig Aberg/Matt Fitzpatrick

Collin Morikawa/Harris English v Rory McIlroy/Tommy Fleetwood

Xander Schauffele/Patrick Cantlay v Robert MacIntyre/Viktor Hovland
