News reaches me that Sullivan has gone one down against Snedeker after a snaking, downhill birdie from the American at seven...

Well, not even Ryder Cup Sunday is more important to the legend Jack Nicklaus than watching his grandson play professional sport. As ESPN's Jason Sobel points out.

Nicklaus' grandson Nick O'Leary plays American football, and his Buffalo Bills side are currently 13-0 up against the New England Patriots. Could be a good day all round for Jack.

Stenson finds the front of the green with his second at 12 and Spieth follows him on. The American will be disappointed with that, Stenson was in the rough, he was on the fairway.

I remember the '91 US Open here and it didn't suit my liking, I always thought it was flat.

Three putts from the front of the green has given Reed some breathing room. He is going to fist pump and the crowd is going to go crazy. Can you believe it?

Rory McIlroy, this feels big. Some 10ft for the win on 13... no. He pulls at it, a tired stroke. Rory has lost his bluster and Patrick Reed - despite finding sand and two-putting - keeps his lead.

Mickelson from about 12 feet to win the ninth... feathers it towards the hole but it stays just right. Garcia, it should be pointed out, is playing very well, it's just that his opponent has gone out in five under par.

Dustin Johnson is putting across the full width of the sixth green, Chris Wood is closer in. DJ sends his ball on its way, looks good, looks very good, what a putt. That must have been 80ft. He was practically out on the highway somewhere. Does he celebrate? Don't be silly, he doesn't do emotion. We move back to level.

Fun fact: The Spaniard is not the only professional golfer in his family - sister Emma competes on the Ladies European Tour.

The Spaniard is in great shape. He has two putts to win the hole at nine and he uses them smartly. That's three up at the turn over a man who has won a major this year.

Rose has a horror show for the half at 10 but that was never in and Fowler claws that fourth match back to all square. Rose responds the some fruity barbs from the American fans with some finger wagging. Please let that not be the story...

Jump through the door Rory McIlroy, it's ajar. Patrick Reed finds sand on the left of the 13th green but R-Mac is short, on the green but 30ft to go.

Here's Spieth with his fourth at 11 and that's a little dazzler, leaving him a couple of feet to go. Stenson's feet are in the sand and ball on the lip... awkward but that's very nicely done... Stenson pops his birdie in, opens up daylight...

Lick of paint and you've got yourself a nice little sun spot there, Carl. But that can wait until Ryder Cup Sunday is over, of course...

The early fireworks of the birdie fest have kind of fizzled out now, we are going through the middle doldrums. Let's see some powder put back in this match.

McIlroy's ball broke hard. We both didn't see that. That is the subtlety of Hazeltine. 

Mickelson very nearly sticks his birdie putt in at eight but remains one up against Garcia.

The scoring has slowed, I guess it had to, between Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed. Both find greenside bunkers on 12. It comes down to sand game. Get in there, settle, waggle and follow through gents. McIlroy is solid, 10ft left. Reed from the other side, same outcome.

If you're just joining us, earlier McIlroy told the world he had a tiny head and needs custom-made hats. Amazing what the cameras pick up thesedays.

Back to serious stuff, his putt is left to right...wide. A big miss. Reed, he'll make this...yes. Reed leads for the first time. That is a telling blow.

Stenson hammers a three wood down the long 11th but comes up just short. He's furious, but Spieth is on in three and quite a long way from the cup. Advantage Europe...

Let's have a quick look at the projected finish. If the 2016 Ryder Cup was to finish right now - with the US up in three and Europe up in five - it would be the Americans lifting the trophy at 14½-13½. It's mighty close at the moment...

Willett with his second at the fifth, from under a tree, and he drops it on the front and cosies it up towards the hole... Koepka, from a similar spot, does it even better...

Relentless. What must this do to the nerves of a player. Put yourself in the shoes of Thomas Pieters. He pulls a stunner of a shot out, he knows he's about to go ahead, or so he thinks. JB Holmes pulls a long putt out and suddenly it's only a halved hole. Like waiting for your pocket money as a kid, only to be told you're not getting it at the last minute.
