  1. Donaldson v Bradleypublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    Europe up

    EUROPE RETAIN THE RYDER CUP... Donaldson misses but pops in to ensure he will get the half point that retains the Ryder Cup for Europe... I say Europe retain the Ryder Cup, but of course we still have cards to be signed and all the rest of the formalities to be sorted...

    Bradley's third misses by a couple of feet, Donaldson with a birdie putt for the hole, the match and the Ryder Cup for Europe...

    Westwood gets a hole back against Walker on 14...

    Righto, it's Jamie Donaldson putting for the Ryder Cup. He's got a long way to go from the back of the green and he gives it some serious mallet, bounding it some way past the hole...

    Stephen Gallacher: Jamie's played great all week. It couldn't come down to a better guy.

    Bradley needs a miracle at 14, he really has to pop this pitch in from the bottom of the swell to have any chance of denying Europe. It is a little known fact that Bradley walks six times as far as the average PGA Tour pro in the course of a round of golf and after he finally settles he races his pitch miles past the hole...

  7. Garcia v Furykpublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    Europe up

    Garcia makes his birdie at 15... Furyk misses... the Americans still swinging, but their punches don't have much vigour in these final stages...

    Donaldson drives through the green at the short par-four 14th, Bradley tugs his left and into the swell. Good luck getting up and down from there - remember, if that hole is halved, Europe retain the Ryder Cup...

  10. Poulter v Simpsonpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    USA up

    Furyk with his second at 15... gets inside Garcia by a couple of inches, and Garcia was only about nine feet from the hole. Poulter with a 10-footer to halve the 14th and he pokes it left, Simpson could yet steal that one down the stretch...

    Europe's Justin Rose speaking to Sky Sports: "I feel fortunate to have got a half out of that one but at this stage every little helps, especially the position I was in with three to go. I was really proud of getting back in the match. Hunter played really well today, throwing everything at me from the off."

  12. Westwood v Walkerpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    USA up

    Jimmy Walker has the edge on Lee Westwood down in match 11, but that match could be irrelevant...

    BBC Radio 5 live commentator at Gleneagles

    "There are probably 30 photographers and TV cameras quickly arriving to see this game on the 13th. Rookie Jamie knows the significance of this. He could go dormie anytime now, the half point Europe need to retain the Ryder Cup."

    Garcia follows Furyk down the middle at 15 as we jump back to 13, with Bradley needing this 15-footer to win the hole. Misses and he's now got a knee-knocker for a half... off he wanders, as is his wont, before ramming it home. Good lad.

    Simpson on the tee at the 14th and he overcooks it, but that's still not bad from 280 yards. Poulter gets chocs away and sends his ball screaming, head-high, into the gallery. Furyk on the tee at 15 and he pumps his drive down the middle.

    I wonder if Tom Watson is saying 'Don't give anything outside a foot'.

    Jim Furyk makes Sergio Garcia putt out from close range to halve the 14th to remain one down.

  17. Garcia v Furykpublished at 16:03 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    Donaldson with his second at 13 and that's safely on. Garcia for a half at 14, from three feet... sweeps it in. Furyk remains one up, though, after a piece of wizardry from the fringe...

  19. Poulter v Simpsonpublished at 16:01 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    USA up

    Webb Simpson gives his team a glimmer with a chip-in at 13, he gets back to within one hole of Poulter. As it stands, it looks like Welshman Donaldson could be the man who seals things for Europe...

    Europe up

    Donaldson duffing up Bradley... Europe, by the way, need only half a point from a possible five to retain the Ryder Cup...
