1UP McIlroy v Thomas (1)
So advantage McIlroy you would think. But wait, Justin Thomas takes his time lining up his 18 foot putt and he drops it. What a response. That shut the crowd up.
Rory's putt might feel a touch longer than six feet, oh and it's ghosted past the hole.
I did not expect that. Thomas is nails.

This is amazing I've got goosebumps now. And for the first time this week it's not because of the cold. You can say I've experienced playing in the Ryder Cup but I didn't experience this atmosphere. I just want to be in there now.

There’s a real sense of expectation, the grandstand is already rocking.
McIlroy v Thomas
Down the first fairway, Justin Thomas goes first, 10 yard's behind Rory's ball. He's smacked it to about 18 feet.
But look at this, Rory lands it to six feet. What a start!
The crowd erupt and my BBC Radio 5 live colleagues are struggling to hear what they are saying. You can listen to their commentary and analysis at the top of this page.

This is what 2014 Ryder Cup winner Jamie Donaldson has to say on the matter:
You want it right of centre off the tee because the water comes in on the left if you pull it. There will be a lot of people bailing out to the right, and there will also be people poking it in the water. Both options are easy to do. But once the tee shot is away, the nerves will die down a bit, temporarily.
Stay right of the pin with your second shot. Anything on the left and the green runs away from you diagonally, so you want to be slightly right of the flag.
McIlroy v Thomas
Justin Thomas thumps his tee shot straight down the par-four first. Rory follows suit, and takes that bouncing walk of his down the fairway,
Good luck lads.
McIlroy v Thomas
As the players are introduced, a reminder that Justin Thomas has a better record than McIlroy at the Ryder Cup this time around. Rory has two points from four, while rookie Thomas has forged a great partnership with Jordan Spieth to earn three points from four.
Thomas to tee off first....

David Ginola has played a big part at Le Golf National, hosting the opening ceremony and being the celebratory figurehead for France’s first Ryder Cup.
And he got to got have a chinwag with the BBC’s Peter Aliss this morning!
McIlroy v Thomas
Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas are down on the tee, and the crowd are pumped.
Another Icelandic (or is it European now?) thunderclap is under way and it's almost at boiling point under the blue Parisian skies. Rory is joining in.

Justin Thomas followed him down, with Brooks Koepka and Paul Casey not far behind.

"The US team are world-class all the way through, but our boys are super committed.
"Singles are different, the team element changes today, but you try and dictate the tempo and rhythm as best you can."
Ten- six.
That's not a cushion. It is an extra-thick mattress of a lead. Right? Right?
Well, that is the exact scoreline that the Europeans slept on on Saturday night at Brookline in 1999. They ended up 14½-13½ losers via Justin Leonard's monster putt and a subsequent green invasion.

Rory McIlroy is Europe’s biggest name. Thomas Bjorn says he trusts him to go and do the job. I think he’ll thrive in that position leading Europe, all eyes will be on Rory and I think has the potential to go out there and get blue on the board early.
He played pretty well on Friday afternoon. I think the position and responsibility will help him. It is a big call but I think if you put him anywhere else in that order it has a negative effect on him.

Doubts from our golf correspondent Iain Carter about Rory McIlroy leading out the field. Despite former European Ryder Cup player Oliver Wilson thinking that McIlroy can prove a talisman, Carter has rightly pointed out that the Northern Irishman has struggled on Sundays this season.
What do you think? Is Rory the man to turn it blue early on or will he wilt again?

That is what Europe need to wrest the Ryder Cup from American hands.
Where do you see them coming?
How about Open champion Francesco Molinari who is paired with out-of-sorts Phil Mickelson?
Patrick Reed was all over the shop yesterday. Is he is easy meat for Tyrrell Hatton?
Dustin Johnson, yippy and gippy on Saturday, against a revved up Ian Poulter?
How's Tiger Woods back? He is up against the Spanish bull Jon Rahm.
Tommy Fleetwood, four points out of four so far this week, takes on Tony Finau, who has had a distinctly less successful Ryder Cup debut.
Those are my five picks for 4.5 points.
