World No 1 Scottie Scheffler cried on the back of a golf cart after he and five-time major winner Brooks Koepka suffered a humiliating record defeat at the 44th Ryder Cup in Rome.<\/p>\n

The American pair were five over par for the first three holes as they crumbled to a 9&7 defeat by Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg, the largest margin of victory in any 18-hole match in the event\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Scheffler was consoled by his wife as he wept, pulling his cap down over his face and rubbing his eyes.<\/p>\n

The result extended the home side\u2019s lead to six points and it looked like there would be more to come as Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood were three up with six to play against Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in the opening foursomes.<\/p>\n
