Europe was forced to make a late substitution on Saturday afternoon at Bethpage Black.

Viktor Hovland, who teamed with Bob MacIntyre on Saturday morning to beat Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley in foursomes, was scratched from Saturday afternoon’s anchor match because of a neck injury, per NBC’s Dan Hicks on the broadcast and other reports. He was replaced by Tyrrell Hatton, who will pair with fellow Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick in fourballs opposite Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns.

It’s unknown the severity of Hovland’s neck issue. He is 1-1 so far this week.

All 12 players on each team are slated to play in Sunday singles. If Hovland can’t go then, U.S. captain Keegan Bradley will have already designated a player to sit out and receive a free point.
