This match might well go down 18, unless Sam Burns holes and Robert MacIntyre misses.

That will mean eight of the 11 singles went to the last green.

SENSATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT.

Former Ryder Cup player on BBC Radio 5 Live at Bethpage Black

That's absolutely brilliant.

Dead on line and he's in perfect position to get this over the line.

Collin Morikawa finds the fairway on the 18th. Tyrrell Hatton is in the first cut but then delivers a wonderful approach shot.

With two-time major champion Morikawa only finding the front of the green from the fairway, the Englishman is very handily placed.

More from Shane Lowry:

"To do that on the 18th green in front of everyone, it was so hard out there. I mean fair play to the US lads we know they were going to come out fighting.

"I just hope one of the boys can get the half point so we can get the win. Obviously we’ve retained the cup but we want to win as well."

On Luke Donald as captain:

"He's the greatest that ever lived, the best captain in the world. He’s done the best job."

On the next home Ryder Cup in Ireland:

"It will be a little bit nicer than playing here, I know that."

Sam Burns hits his shot on the par three to 25 feet.

Robert MacIntyre absolutely rips that. About 15 feet away for his two.

He will definitely be keen to salvage something even though the cup has been retained.

Shane Lowry sank the putt to retain the Ryder Cup for Europe:

"I’ve been so lucky to experience amazing things in this game. That was the hardest couple of hours of my whole life, honestly.

"I just can’t believe that ball went in. I said to Darren walking down 18, I have the chance to do the coolest thing in my life here. The Ryder Cup means everything to me.

"I won The Open in Ireland, it was amazing, a dream come true but the Ryder Cup for me is everything."

A rendition of Flower of Scotland greets Robert MacIntyre on the 17th tee.

If that doesn't fire him up EVEN more I don't know what will.

Ben Griffin survives and he beats Rasmus Hojgaard n to add another point to this incredible USA total in the singles.

It's turning out to be one of the most one-sided Sundays we've ever seen at the Ryder Cup, and yet at the end of it, the trophy will be heading back across the Atlantic.

What a putt that nearly is. Tyrrell Hatton's effort looks to be tracking towards the hole from well over 40 feet but it stays high and slips past by less than the width of a ball.

Europe's captain Luke Donald has his head in his hands.

Can anyone find the half point required for a European victory? Or will we end up with the first tie since 1989 at the Belfry?

So, quick explanation.

There are 28 points available at the Ryder Cup. Because Europe won last time, they only needed 14 to make sure they could not be beaten.

That's why Shane Lowry's putt retained the cup.

One more half would be enough to win it outright.

Very good chip across the 16th green by Sam Burns.

But Robert MacIntyre has a chance of a win.

It slides past the low side though.

Looks like a half.

Rasmus Hojgaard comes up short on the 18th green thanks to a bit of spin on the ball, Ben Griffin comes up even shorter though with even more swazz on his effort.

Just an outside chance for the Dane to somehow get a half here.

Jim: Shane Lowry has got to get an invite onto Strictly after that performance!

Owen: If you’d have given us 14-14 on Friday morning, I think most would have taken it. Brilliant performance, held our nerve, now let’s get 14.5!

Andrew: Shane Lowry - future captain in the making. Nerves of steel, ultimate team player.

Dan: Nearly the greatest fumble of all time. But we did it. Shane you Irish god. Nearly woke my kids with the cheer!!

Jason: Superb utterly Superb. My heart has been in my mouth for the last 3 hours then Shane what a man. Such a release. Marvellous

Tyrrell Hatton and Collin Morikawa still can't be separated as they tee off on the par-three 17th.

Neither threatens the pin albeit Hatton will be putting from over 40 feet, with the American well inside him.

The Europeans below are bouncing up and down as they chant.

"There’s only oneeeee, Shane Lowry! One Shane Lowryyyy!”

Loads of Irish flags waving in the air as they serenade one of their own after his nerveless and crucial contribution.

Back on the 16th Tyrrell Hatton has a putt to win the hole for Europe but it's another opportunity that goes begging.

Ben Griffin one up with one to play, Rasmus Hojgaard need to pull a rabbit out of the hat on 18 if he wants the half point to see Europe actually win this Ryder Cup match.

Three putt on 15 from nowhere from Robert MacIntyre to gift a hole to Sam Burns. Goes one down.
