  1. Henley A/S Lowry

    He got a massive bear hug from Jon Rahm after his jig. The Euros round the 18th green were understandably jubilant.

    Anyone know what time the next train back to Manhattan is?

    Loads of Americans are leaving Bethpage to catch it…

  3. Henley A/S Lowry

    Shane is trying to do a television interview with Sky and is struggling to get any words out.

    What a man.

    That dance will get its own meme for sure. Has to.

    What a putt. What a celebration! Shane Lowry ensures the Ryder Cup is going back across the Atlantic!!

    Lowry roars, leaps and pirouettes across the green. All that pent-up emotion spills out. Careful big man, don’t spin out of control.

    He wouldn’t care if he did.

    Now Europe can celebrate! But there is a job still to do…

  5. Henley A/S Lowry

    The jig he did after holing the putt might have been something to do with him holding his heart!

    He absolutely went for it.

  6. Henley A/S Lowry

    Shane Lowry is totally overcome with emotion. Holding his heart as he looks to the sky. Beaming smile on his face.

  7. Europe retain the Ryder Cup

    Henley A/S Lowry

    Shane Lowry holes!!!!!

    Europe retain the Ryder Cup.

    Right in the middle by the Irishman.

  8. 1UP Henley v Lowry (17)

    Russell Henley comes up short.

    Shane Lowry can retain the cup with this putt.

  9. Hit it Rasmus!

    1UP Griffin v Hojgaard (16)

    Rasmus Hojgaard has a chance from 15 feet for the hole but he doesn't hit it anywhere near hard enough as it pulls up short.

    You've got to hit them young fella!

  10. 1UP Henley v Lowry (17)

    If Russell Henley misses and Shane Lowry makes, we have a half and retain the cup.

    If the opposite happens, the US are within TWO points.

  11. 1UP Henley v Lowry (17)

    So...

    Russell Henley is 10 feet away.

    Shane Lowry is seven feet away.

  12. 1UP Henley v Lowry (17)

    Shane hits it inside him!!

    This is ridiculous.

  13. 1UP Henley v Lowry (17)

    Reckon he tugged that a bit. Otherwise that was incredibly bold.

  14. 1UP Henley v Lowry (17)

    He doesn't.

    He feathers that between the flag and he fringe. 10 feet away.

    Shane might need to hole his.

  15. Hatton & Morikawa locked together

    Morikawa A/S Hatton (15)

    My goodness. It's a swinger and Collin Morikawa's ball is one revolution away from dropping.

    The American and most of the crowd around the green can't believe that.

    Tyrrell Hatton has a putt to win the hole. 'How did that not move' shouts the Englishman as his effort rolls up to the hole but stays a fraction right.

  16. 1UP Henley v Lowry (17)

    Russell Henley's ball is on an upslope and it's not an ideal angle.

    I'll be surprised if he tries to get this close.

    More likely hits it right and takes the two putt.

  17. Good job you turned up today, Ludvig.

  18. 'It is nervy' - Aberg

    The only European to win a point today is Ludvig Aberg.

    He's saying what I'm sure all of you are feeling.

    "It is nervy - it is nervy!

    "You're playing for a lot more than just yourself which is also why this is so fun. This is why this is the best tournament in the world and I'm glad to have contributed to my team."

  19. Burns A/S MacIntyre (14)

    Robert MacIntyre carves his drive off the 15th way left. It smacks a spectator on the leg and bounces back towards the fairway.

    Not ideal for the Scot, but could have been worse.

  20. 1UP Griffin v Hojgaard (15)

    Rasmus Hojgaard gurning away after his approach shot, but he finds the green with Ben Griffin just off it in the fringe.
