    Russell Henley slaps that left and it lands in the bunker.

    It's close-ish to what looks like a steep face.

    Will get it out obviously as he'll have a short iron in hand, but will be a factor in his mind.

    Which must be absolutely scrambled right now.

    Hang on… the Europeans around the 18th green have woken up.

    Their ‘Ole, Ole, Ole!’ chant returns when Lowry keeps his contest alive.

    Shano to sort it down the last? What a riposte that would be after yesterday’s beef.

    Boomer from Shane. Down the right. Spot on.

    Morikawa A/S Hatton (14)

    Collin Morikawa is in the wispy stuff down the left on the 15th but he still finds the green. When he reaches it a wicked breaking putt from 22 feet going left to right will greet him.

    Tyrrell Hatton plays a pearler and is 12 feet from the pin.

    That wasn't right in the front door for Shane. Hate to think how that looked from his end.

    Anyway, it dropped.

    Four feet for Shane. Nothing for short.

    Likely will hit this with pace.

    Does. And it's IN.

    On we go to 18.

    My word. The cheer which greets Griffin going 1-up is louder than the final buzzer on a Knicks win.

    The Europeans are hoping the American golfers let their fans down like the perennially-underachieving New York basketball team usually do.

    On it's way...

    NO!

    Short.

    Chance for Shane to keep this going.

  11. This is tense!published at 22:02 BST 28 September

    How are your nerves?

    Are Europe actually going to win this?

    Thumbs up if you think they can cling on.

    Downhill. About 10 feet. Let's call it 12. He is stalking this A LOT.

  13. Griffin goes one uppublished at 22:01 BST 28 September

    1UP Griffin v Hojgaard (15)

    What a time to go one up for Ben Griffin as Rasmus Hojgaard makes a mess of the 15th and the USA move a step closer to this epic comeback.

    Very good effort. VERY good under this pressure.

    Should be a three.

    But Henley has this for the match.

    1UP Henley v Lowry (16)

    Shane Lowry is on the bottom tier and must also putt through the shadow of a tree.

    It's 18 yards away. Not feet. yards.

    Burns A/S MacIntyre (14)

    Halved in pars on 14 for the anchor game.

    The bar at Glencruitten will be doing roaring business right now.

    Medicinal, of course.

    1UP Henley v Lowry (16)

    A long way from the pin on 17 for Shane. Two putt - at best.

    Russell Henley has his dancing round the pin in reply. Superb shot. Chance of a two and that will likely win the game if he makes it.

    The realisation this is far too close for comfort has fully dawned on the European fans.

    Not heard any taunting of the Americans for the best part of half an hour. Maybe longer.

  19. get involved

    Get Involvedpublished at 21:56 BST 28 September

    Bob: So it turns out that the Europeans are much better at playing with their friends while the Americans excel when they play with themselves

    Stuart: Unintended tension on a Sunday, this is tailor made for Lowry to win the point that wins the Ryder Cup.

    Dan: After all the flak he copped alongside Rory, it’d be poetic if Shane Lowry could secure the vital half/point.

    David: I don't normally follow golf but the Ryder Cup is the best team sport competition in the world.

    JJ Spaun had to putts for the win - and took them.

    Another point for the US.
