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

Misses a good chance to win the first.

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.

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

Ben: Is it too late to resurrect the old Mitchell Johnson Ashes chant? "He putts to the left, he putts to the right...

Simon: Goes to show the value of team spirit and togetherness that we have and they simply don’t get

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Justin Thomas is very loose with his golf game today.

The way Matt Fitzpatrick is playing, Bryson DeChambeau simply cannot afford to offer up these presents.

A messy hole halved in par fives - Ludvig Aberg goes way long with his second, but Patrick Cantlay is short and in the bunker and they both take three to get in from there.

Messy stuff but Europe stay ahead.

Rory McIlroy nudges his to four inches. Four.

Now Scottie Scheffler, from a good deal closer - and it's helpfully uphill.

Good roll but misses a smidgen on the right. Half.
