Justin Rose is on a rumble. Hunter Mahan's advantage is now down to a hole - it was up at four at one stage - after the Englishman wins his third successive hole at 10.

All 12 matches are out on course. Frenchman Victor Dubuisson and Zach Johnson have halved the first hole.

So if it all ended right now where would the Cup be heading? To Europe, but only just. Fourteen-all is the latest projected score.

No doubt about the group surrounded by the most partisan atmosphere. Patrick Reed's swaggering off the 10th green like a prizefighter en route to the ring with Americans hooping and a'hollering all the way. The youngster looks ready to slug the next person who sarcastically shushes him.

Skipper Tom Watson could do with dispensing some calming words.

Even Henrik Stenson looks mildly animated by it all.

"Bubba Watson has not had a great week at Gleneagles and the two-time Masters champion is on the receiving end of some German engineering here against Martin Kaymer. The self-confessed 'goofy' American escapes with a half on seven after Kaymer's long putt gets airborne and ends up way short, and Watson is helped on the way to the eighth tee by a little pat on the backside from wife Angie."

Phil Mickelson sent captain Tom Watson a text yesterday pleading for his chance to play. He is backing up his keypad words with on-course action so far - Lefty is two to the good against Stephen Gallacher after eight.

Martin Kaymer's golf was a little bit 'meh' yesterday, but there has been some razzle-dazzle to his play today. Bubba Watson has managed to get a toe-hold in their match though, nicking the seventh to move to three adrift.

"McDowell on the charge, and with every European putt that drops the roars bounce around the hills and grassy alleys of the Centenary course. It's classic Sunday Showdown stuff - action on 12 holes, momentum swinging one way then the other, the whiff of panic in the air and a churn in the guts that won't say goodbye."

"Stephen Gallacher has his work cut out if he is to recreate a Phillip Price moment and beat Phil Mickelson but the local lad, playing only his second match of the week, is scrapping away against the US superstar. Gallacher is urged every length of the fairways by countrymen imploring "Come on, Stevie". They share a half at seven after some typical Mickelson magic, getting down in two from a steep bank, and the American walks off grinning his grin. Gallacher follows, nodding to a couple of familiar faces as he passes."

McDowell is finding his game, he's hot. An amazing change here, I think Jordan got a little foolish on the last green by three-putting.

McDowell birdies the par-four 11th to reduce the arrears to a single hole having been three down at one stage.

The GMac comeback is rolling. The Northern Irishman rolls in from eight feet and gives his bicep a workout as he uppercuts the air in delight.

One down with seven to play against Jordan Spieth.

Neither Graeme McDowell nor Jordan Spieth have tasted defeat in this year's Ryder Cup so far. Will something give today?

The crowd were 'shhhing' Patrick Reed on the ninth, they're having a bit of a battle with him.

Reed found water with his second on the par-five ninth and Stenson took advantage to level the match.

"I think Stephen might be a little bit miffed because he didn't get the chance to play after Friday morning but use it to your advantage. He's fresh and ready for this singles match."

Jim Furyk looks on mournfully as his putt slides past and he wearily concedes to put Sergio Garcia one hole to the good.

Rory McIlroy is well in his groove. The world number one is bulldozing his way through Rickie Fowler and there is no let up as he launches a peach of an approach at nine.

It is feeling like the wind is now in Europe's sails.
