How Europe retained the Ryder Cup on the 18th

    1UP Scheffler v McIlroy (16)

    Also an eight iron.

    Powered to 15 feet left of the hole.

    That's a three at worst and a chance of a two.

    Scottie's lag putt will not be easy.

  2. DeChambeau sets up final-hole shootout with Fitzpatrickpublished at 21:24 BST 28 September

    DeChambeau A/S Fitzpatrick (17)

    Matt Fitzpatrick fluffs his first putt. He's left himself a slippery left-to-right downhill effort from six feet or so.

    Bryson DeChambeau is putting from 22 feet to win the hole and draw level...if this goes in Europe could be in huge trouble.

    The line is perfect but it pulls up inches short. Fitzpatrick still has work to do mind. And his putt lips out. Bryson walks off the 17th hole, like a bulldozer, pumping his arms in celebration.

    It would be hard to back against the American winning this match now.

    1UP Scheffler v McIlroy (16)

    Scottie Scheffler from 178 yards. Up the hill. He hits his eight-iron... short. And that is trickling away and away and away. Long two-putt from there.

    Right then Rory. Have you got anything in the tank?

    Thomas A/S Fleetwood (17)

    Tommy Fleetwood misses!

    Justin Thomas has a putt for the match - we've seen this movie before.

  5. Spaun doubles leadpublished at 21:22 BST 28 September

    2UP Spaun v Straka (14)

    Not sure what the big Austrian did off the tee there but he made a mess of a chip from the jungle and picked up to concede the hole to JJ Spaun.

    He goes two up and this is getting very, very twitchy.

  6. Postpublished at 21:22 BST 28 September

    Thomas A/S Fleetwood (17)

    Tommy Fleetwood finds the fairway on 18 and then also hits the green, albeit a bit short around 20 feet away.

    Justin Thomas in the right rough but that helps with taking off the spin and his effort dances down to only about 15 feet or so on a similar line.

    Again the putters will decide a crucial point in what is now a thrilling Ryder Cup Sunday.

  7. Lowry goes one downpublished at 21:20 BST 28 September

    1UP Henley v Lowry (13)

    Russell Henley has had a miserable week, but he rolls in a putt for the win on the 13th.

    There is now so much red on the leaderboard and everywhere you look a the moment it is a poor shot by a European.

  8. Postpublished at 21:20 BST 28 September

    DeChambeau v Fitzpatrick 1UP (16)

    Bryson DeChambeau is on the dance floor off the tee. So it is imperative that Matt Fitzpatrick does the same on the par-three 17th.

    And he doesn't quite. He instead find the fringe at the back. A tough putt awaits the Englishman.

    Scoreboard five red, two blue

    All eyes on Matt Fitzpatrick at the moment.

    Europe could do with him clinging on here, just to stave off the red wave.

  10. Scheffler stays aheadpublished at 21:18 BST 28 September

    1UP Scheffler v McIlroy (16)

    Long two-putt for Rory McIlroy on 16.

    He does just that, with the shortest of second putts we have seen asked for all week.

  12. Aberg still aheadpublished at 21:17 BST 28 September

    Cantlay v Aberg 2UP (15)

    Ludvig Aberg gets a half on 15 and he stays two up with three to play against Patrick Cantlay. Europe could really, really do with him hanging on to that lead.

    Maybe they do believe! The home crowd erupts when Young sticks away his winning putt.

    The New Yorker is immediately pounced on by his partner, then US vice-captain Webb Simpson also offers a big hug.

    Some of the US support team link arms and jig around in a celebratory circle.

    Then a chant starts…

    "I believe. I believe! I believe we will win…" says Bethpage.

  14. Fitzpatrick clings onto narrow leadpublished at 21:15 BST 28 September

    DeChambeau v Fitzpatrick 1UP (16)

    Oh my. How did that not drop. Bryson DeChambeau's putt swings from left to right and burns the edge of the cup as it slips past.

    England's Matt Fitzpatrick has the chance to secure at least half a point but comes up shy of the cup.

    1UP Young v Rose (F)

    That was an absolutely fantastic win for Cam Young sent out by Keegan Bradley as captain in the first place.

    Leading his team out, Ryder Cup rookie, youngest player in the team and he gets his point.

  16. Hit it Tommy!published at 21:14 BST 28 September

    Thomas A/S Fleetwood (17)

    Tommy Fleetwood puts his hands on his knees and sinks low in disappointment as he leaves his birdie putt on 17 short!

    That was for the win and a guaranteed half, and right now Europe need all the help they can get.

    1UP Young v Rose (F)

    Cameron Young sinks his putt and wins a full point in the most dramatic fashion against Justin Rose.

    "USA, USA" rings out around the 18th green and that noise will travel all over the property at Bethpage Black.

    The comeback is on!

    So, it’s a putting shootout on the last.

    Not convinced many of the Americans believe they can pull off a miracle, but they’re trying their best to make the Europeans think they do.

    Part of the home contingent behind the green windmill their arms as they start U-S-A chants.

    Thomas A/S Fleetwood (16)

    Justin Thomas with a nice putt but just not quite on line, so Tommy Fleetwood has a putt to win the 17th. These next couple of putts could be huge.
