No afternoon action for Viktor Hovland either - but they played the longest match and under the most intensity, so perhaps that has fallen well as part of Luke Donald's masterplan.

The crowd's feistiness seriously ramped up in that final match towards the end.

It wasn't quite Colin Montgomerie at Brookline 1999, but Robert MacIntyre was getting some significant stick for the last four holes.

It seemed to bother him, and the Scot will play no part this afternoon.

Despite that final point for USA, it's definitely been Europe's session.

Here's how it stands - and history suggests winning the foursomes is a decent indicator of who will hoist the Ryder Cup on Sunday.

The caps come off and it's handshakes. The pair of the Californians have delivered for the US. The music cranks up in celebration of the US for the first time this morning.

Patrick Cantlay is relishing the battle in the afternoon fourballs: "It was a tough match against Robert and Viktor and it was just good to get the point on the board. We will be fired up this afternoon - I can't wait to get out there [final fourball match]."

Robert MacIntyre - heckled again before he putts - misses and Europe concede.

The US have their first point on the board.

Viktor Hovland splashes out to eight feet and that is game over essentially.

The US have two putts for it.

MacIntyre has thrown everything at that but he can only get it as far as the bunker. If it doesn't go in then I think it's all over.

Robert MacIntyre had a wild swipe at his - that's how bad the lie was - and even then he could not advance it to the green.

Europe need to hole that pitch and hope the US miss.

What a great shot from Xander Schauffele. He's spun it perfectly.

Xander Schauffele is a multiple major champion so he was not going to make a mess of a 105-yard pitch.

Five feet right of the pin.

Europe must win this hole to get anything from this match and if you had to put a wager on what will happen next you would not be backing Europe.

Robert MacIntyre needs to summon the spirit of Seve to magic the European ball onto the green from that bird's nest lie.

Or Xander Schauffele makes an almighty mess of his straightforward iron shot.

This match has taken an aesthetically pleasing route over the first 17 holes.

But it looks like this final hole isn't going to go the way of the Europeans after all.

The huge stand skirting the back of the first tee and 18th green is rammed full again to watch this final match coming up the last.

Hovland’s errant drive was greeted by huge cheers.

The 18th is just 412 yards but is playing into the breeze.

Patrick Cantlay pummels that down the left. Safe.

Viktor Hovland pushes his drive down the right. Into the rough, and it sits down. That does not look appealing for his partner.

They have delivered more than they have failed for America and you can see why Bradley wanted them out last in this group for America.

Keegan Bradley is waving his arms in the air and trying to get this crowd going while walking to the 18th.

A Friday foursomes match has not reached the 18th hole since 2016.

Shouts from the crowd towards Robert MacIntyre - and they aren't especially pleasant.

Can the Scot ignore that and hole it?

No.

Slides past and Europe go one down with one to play.

Patrick Cantlay hit a poor putt on the last from closer than this. It didn't even touch the hole.

This time he has the line spot on. But not the pace.

Comes up short and now Robert MacIntyre has a putt for the half.
