How Europe retained the Ryder Cup on the 18th

    Jon Rahm reduces his arrears on the fifth as Xander Schauffele takes three on the dance floor.

    Basically that's a carbon copy of the same unforced error that the Spaniard coughed up on the opening hole.

    Scheffler A/S McIlroy (7)

    Scottie Scheffler's seven-iron squeezes on the front of the par-three eighth. Rory McIlroy fires his iron over the top of the flag - half a club too much but safe.

  4. Anchor match starts with a halfpublished at 19:07 BST 28 September

    Burns A/S MacIntyre (1)

    Sam Burns has left his putting boots in Louisiana this week.

    Misses a good chance to win the first.

  5. Escape for McIlroypublished at 19:05 BST 28 September

    Scheffler A/S McIlroy (7)

    Scottie Scheffler can't hole his putt for three and Rory McIlroy holes his three-footer so they move to the eighth tee all square.

    Escape for McIlroy there.

    Scheffler A/S McIlroy (6)

    Wonderful pitch from Rory McIlroy. Touch of class there. And every chance he escapes with a four.

    Jay: Tommy Fleetwood ....boring, but scoring!!!

  8. Young thwarts Rosepublished at 19:01 BST 28 September

    It's a stunner of an approach to the ninth green from Justin Rose, but Cameron Young stops him in his tracks by holing out from 11 feet.

    Rose knocks in his birdie but it's only for a half as he makes the turn one behind.

  9. Half chancepublished at 18:59 BST 28 September

    Cantlay v Aberg 1UP (5)

    Ludving Aberg can't convert from 15 feet as he has the chance to double his lead over Patrick Cantlay but misses to stay just the one ahead.

    Cantlay just a little sluggish here but you know if this match goes down the stretch then he usually comes alive.

  10. Fitzpatrick flyingpublished at 18:59 BST 28 September

    DeChambeau v Fitzpatrick 5UP (7)

    Matt Fitzpatrick has made four birdies on his way to establishing a huge lead and now a par is sufficient to add to it.

    He is flying.

    In contrast, Bryson DeChambeau's round is completely unravelling, a little like the United States' Ryder Cup hopes this week.

    Scheffler A/S McIlroy (6)

    Rory McIlroy struggling on the seventh. Scottie Scheffler on the green and McIlroy is wide right in two - he'll need a good pitch and a good putt to half this.

  12. Pars on twopublished at 18:57 BST 28 September

    Griffin v Hojgaard (2)

    Two fours on the second hole to keep Ben Griffin ahead in this match which, as it stands, will be merely be important for the final score rather than the result.

    Bryson does not look like the same person he was on the first hole.

    His smile’s turned upside down for a frown. He just doesn’t look good. His iron game has not been very sharp today, he’s not made any putts,

    He’s come up against a pretty strong European player in Matt Fitzpatrick.

  14. Fleetwood chasing historypublished at 18:56 BST 28 September

    Thomas v Fleetwood 2UP (8)

    Justin Thomas misses a birdie putt at the eighth and Tommy Fleetwood gets a chance to take the hole, but he comes just short.

    Fleetwood chuckles to himself. He's still two up.

    Fleetwood could become the first European to win five matches at an away Ryder Cup, and only the second in history after USA’s Tony Lema did so in 1965 at Royal Birkdale (5-1-0)

    He could also become only the second European and the sixth player in history to go 5-0-0 at a Ryder Cup.

    The other men are Gardner Dickinson (1967), Arnold Palmer (1967), Larry Nelson (1979), Francesco Molinari (2018) and Dustin Johnson (2021)

  15. Hatton aheadpublished at 18:56 BST 28 September

    Morikawa v Hatton 1UP (1)

    Tyrrell Hatton takes the opening hole largely after that fine wedge from the rough put him in close.

    Collin Morikawa did at least keep him honest after rolling in from 11 feet but the Englishman does not miss those.

    Almost everyone out on the course now.

    My hands are tired from updating this graphic.

    Already.

    Burns v MacIntyre (18:52 BST)

    Testament to the strength in depth of this European team is that Robert MacIntyre has only been seen twice despite now being recognised as a world-class performer.

    He will fancy his chances in this one, because Sam Burns has been modest this week.

    Even his Tour-leading putting has been off and Patrick Cantlay got a sore back on Friday from carrying him in the fourballs.

  18. Henley holds his nervepublished at 18:52 BST 28 September

    Henley v Lowry A/S (3)

    Shane Lowry with a delicious birdie putt on the third to pile on the pressure, but Russell Henley is equal to it on this occasion.

    They halve the third hole.

  19. Match 10published at 18:50 BST 28 September

    Morikawa v Hatton

    Collin Morikawa has been one half of the most mocked pairing in Ryder Cup history.

    You suspect he will be determined to show something special now he is on his own.

    Tyrrell Hatton, in contrast, is without his big buddy Jon Rahm. But he ended Saturday's fourballs in fine form and will fancy his chances in this.

    That said...the Englishman leaks his tee shot left but then recalibrates to zip in to four feet from the thick stuff.

    Morikawa is off the back left edge with his approach and then duffs his chip.

  20. 'Boring Fleetwood two up'published at 18:50 BST 28 September

    Thomas v Fleetwood 2UP (7)

    Andrew Magee

    Boring golf from Tommy Fleetwood but he’s two up.

    Justin Thomas is very loose with his golf game today.
