Ryder Cup Foursomes - How The Format Works

So the afternoon format for the Ryder Cup is Foursomes. In this format 2 players make up each team from Europe and USA and each team only plays 1 ball between them. The first player hits the golf ball and then his partner takes the next shot and so on until the ball is holed. Whichever team gets the lowest score on each hole wins the point (or the hole is halved is they both score the same).
