GARY LINEKER left fans stunned after making a cheeky joke about the Ryder Cup.

Team Europe stormed into a 4-0 lead over Team USA on Friday morning following a tactical masterstroke from captain Luke Donald.


Rory McIlroy explained that Donald had switched the traditional starting format from fourball to foursomes for the early session.

Following the remarkable start to proceedings for Europe at the Marco Simeone course in Rome, Italy, Lineker took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to express his delight at the start.

However, the Match of the Day host wrote out an X-rated remark.

He said: "It’s a long time since I’ve enjoyed foursomes this much."
