Shane Lowry will partner Rory McIlroy in the Ryder Cup Friday fourball pairings.

The Clara golfer, who is appearing in his third consecutive Ryder Cup, has been paired with the US Masters champion, as the Irish duo aim to cement Europe's strong start to the defensive of their title.

Lowry and McIlroy will play Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay with a tee-off time of 6.13pm (Irish time).

Europe hold a 3-1 lead going into the fourball session, McIlroy starting his Ryder Cup with a foursome pairing win alongside Tommy Fleetwood.

The Ryder Cup continues until Sunday with further fourball and foursomes pairings on Saturday, the tournament concluding with 12 singles matches on the final day as Europe look to retain their title.
