In this cauldron, in this environment, it is managing the emotions isn’t it [by the caddies]?

Just trying to keep them calm. Keep them up. It is long days and mentally draining so it is about keeping them focussed, keeping them in the game.

Scottie Scheffler chips up to six feet. He is out of sorts.

Prediction for you though; he will be sent out first in the singles, where he will play Jon Rahm... and against the form of the week, he will win 3&2.

Earlier today we saw Jon Rahm hole a spellbinding chip out of the bunker and over at the 11th, he's sizing up another out of the rough.

This one squirrels away though - we'll let him off.

Over to the rest of this fourball who all have lengthy putts.

I'd love to have Justin Rose as my Grandpa.

Who's with me?

Fair approach by Bryson DeChambeau but it looks tawdry compared to the Euros.

Massive chance to go two up again for the English pair.

This has been a brilliant match to watch because they have been throwing haymakers at each other.

Four of the world’s best golfers and there have been birdies all over the shop here.

Justin Rose is called 'Grandpa' by the crowd, shrugs that off and hits his six-iron WITHIN Tommy Fleetwood's approach.

Europe surely certain to make three on 12.

Oh my. What a putt that is from Sam Burns, who is one of the very best on the PGA Tour with the flat stick in his hands.

Burns is clearly pumped as he drains it from 36 feet but then has to watch Matt Fitzpatrick repeat the trick from 32 feet.

The Englishman cups his hands to his ears and is letting it all hang out this week. Not sure I can recall seeing Fitzy ever look so charged.

Scottie Scheffler pushes that a bit long and right. Couldn't hook it enough from the left trees.

Tommy Fleetwood absolutely buttons a five-iron to five feet. That is as good as a golf ball can be struck folks.

I am in the thick of it.

What I notice is there is probably six or eight police officers or security who spend their whole time when the players are on the green looking at the crowd and their eyes do not deviate for the whole time.

Actually, for majority of time they were on the green, Lowry spent his time looking up into the crowd, and he had to tell the European fans just to calm down a little bit.

They were trying to drown the Americans out a little with their ole ole oles when Rory was about to putt.

Blimey. Bob MacIntyre is a brave fella.

The European star is sitting out of the fourballs, but is out among the group trailing McIlroy and Lowry.

Shouts come his way but nothing too offensive.

"Ah it’s alright," says the fair-skinned Scot sniffs. "All I get is shouts of ‘sunburn’."

Then he sees a group of his fellow Obanites - who have British tennis star Jamie Murray - with them.

He rips his pals for not making enough noise.

Rory McIlroy has the power but not the direction with an awkward putt on the 12th, to open a window open for Justin Thomas and Cameron Young.

Neither of them can take it, though. All square in match one with six holes left to play.

All the groups are onto the back nine now.

So, score prediction time for this session.

Europe 4-0, 3-1 or 2-2 (halves included), thumbs up.

USA 4-0, 3-1 or 2½-1½, thumbs down.

Wonderful play from Tyrrell Hatton, who makes a mockery of those earlier 'hacker' jibes as he comes out of the right fairway bunker and runs his ball on to the putting surface at the par-four 10th.

The Englishman is actually closer to the hole than his team-mate Matt Fitzpatrick and both Americans, who were all playing from the fairway.

Anyone fancy walking this gauntlet?

This is the tight track between the 11th green and 12th tee where noise - somewhat vitriolic - rains on the European players.

Note the numbers of police officers and security staff guarding McIlroy and Lowry.

Last time I felt this ferocity close to this was Cardiff away as a Leeds United fan. No coins being lobbed here thankfully.

DeChambeau loves it! He is fired up!

That is a massive putt for the USA. They have reduced the arrears.

The grandstand was in the perfect position for him and he knew that was going in when he hit it as he goes and fist pumps to the crowd.

I think over the next couple of hours, this atmosphere is only going to build and build.

We have seen very little of Jon Rahm's group but they have just flickered back onto our radar because US Open winner JJ Spaun has just holed a monster at the 10th green.

A wall of sound greets his 45-foot birdie putt as it lands bang in the middle of the cup.

Both Sepp Straka and Jon Rahm have chances to tie the hole from closer but can't match it.

Europe's advantage halved in this match.

Scottish Scheffler is way left off the 12th tee.

Bryson DeChambeau is pumped up but that was actually a beautifully controlled drive. Perfect spot and a long way down. Impressive from the US talisman

The crowd’s been pretty good natured with this one and that was a great reaction from Bryson DeChambeau and as a player, this is the atmosphere you want, to be able to show off, hole these putts and celebrate with the crowd.

Outside chances of three for the European pair. Not made.

This is really all about whether Bryson DeChambeau can hole his putt.

He can. So the US are back to one down and BDC's veins are bulging out of his neck as he roars to the crowd in celebration.
