    Koepka & Spieth v Rahm & Garcia 1UP (11)

    Rahm comes within inches of chipping in from off the green to pinch the hole, before Koepka has a roll from 20 feet to also win it, but neither drops.

    It's honours even, eventually, as Koepka's putt is conceded after Garcia has a bit of a think about it - more mind games?

    Bryson DeChambeau is just not able to bully the course as he usually does - and it's beginning to get to him.

    DeChambeau & Scheffler v Fleetwood & Hovland 1UP (9)

    Bryson De Chambeau is not having fun in the wind. He had the distance of the green but winds up in the fluffy stuff on the left. He tries to send his shot up - it finds the geen but it runs down and it ends up a few inches from the fringe.

    "The wind is blowing at 20-25mph. If you're slightly off your game, like Rory McIlroy, it's going be magnified massively."

    Finau & English v Lowry & Hatton 2UP (12)

    Tony Finau is on his haunches, he almost chips in but it weaves away. Tyrrell Hatton then has a chance to extend the European lead but can't make it three birdies on the trot and the visitors remain two up in this one. It's getting tense...

    The celebratory roar from Koepka sinking his birdie on 10, sped back down the hill to the ninth green as fast as physics allowed.

    “We needed that up there,” says an American voice behind me. “We can’t give them a sniff.”

    Koepka & Spieth v Rahm & Garcia 1UP (10)

    Start of the back nine sees Brooks Koepka make a birdie to win the hole and get to within a hole of the Europeans, although how Jon Rahm's putt didn't go in is anyone's guess.

    Rahm's effort tracks and never looks anywhere else but in, apart from right at the death when the ball steps inside the hole but decides to step back out again at the last minute.

    Rahm can't believe it, Garcia can't believe it, Koepka can though, and makes no mistake by draining his putt then playing to the crowd - in that low-key style of his of course.

    This morning Viktor Hovland missed a makeable putt on nine - and then again on 10.

    Those slipping past saw momentum change in his foursomes match with Bernd Wiesberger and they ended up losing to Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.

    Now he’s just knocked in on nine to put him and Tommy Fleetwood ahead - a swing in a positive direction for the European pair.

    Same result?

    3UP Johnson & Morikawa v McIlroy & Poulter (8)

    This one is getting away from the Europeans... Poulter and McIlroy scrambled their way to the eight green, but no such much bother for Collin Morikawa. He makes par to send the American duo three up.

  11. Birdie for Hovland and back in the leadpublished at 21:58 British Summer Time 25 September 2021

    DeChambeau & Scheffler A/S Fleetwood & Hovland (8)

    Bryson De Chambeau has given the Europeans a little bit of hope on the par four ninth hole. He sends his ball from one bit of scrub to the other side... in the scrub.

    Tommy Fleetwood - his second shot and has foudn the rough on the right.

    His third though puts him nicely on the green.

    Viktor Hovland's second shot is a real beauty, as it is on the dancefloor. And the crowd... goes quiet.

    Scottie Scheffler chips wide of the prize ... but leave it to Viktor - he sinks a birdie putt and once more the leaderboard has a little glint of blue.

    What a rookie!

    Finau & English v Lowry & Hatton 2UP (11)

    Tyrrell Hatton now with the fist pumps! A putt that was in the moment it left his flat stick, cool as a cucumber. It takes the Europeans two up in this one!

    2UP Johnson & Morikawa v McIlroy & Poulter (7)

    Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy are both going to struggle for anything better than a bogey at the eighth. Chance for the American duo to go three up...

    After patiently waiting for the groups to come through, the fans sat on the ninth and adjoining 18th grandstands decide to amuse themselves to pass the time.

    A Mexican wave is started by the Niners and carries round to the Eighteeners.

    “Send it back, send it back!” the latter crew chants when they sit back down.

    Quite good that. Especially when all they usually chant is the often-hubristic ‘U-S-A, U-S-A’.

    DeChambeau & Scheffler A/S Fleetwood & Hovland (8)

    Onto the par four ninth hole.

    Both Tommy Fleetwood and Viktor Hovland hit sweetly onto the short stuff.

    Scottie Scheffler goes a little towards the right - and it bounces into the first cut, but that's not too bad.

    Bryson De Chambeau steps up and the anticipation is real. He's twitching and tapping - and he unleashes!

    Then just as quickly shouts fore left - and the spectators scramble out of the way and then converge on the ball.

    2UP Johnson & Morikawa v McIlroy & Poulter (7)

    You don't often see Collin Morikawa hacking out of the cabbage, but he does so pretty smartly. Rory McIlroy less so, he puffs out his cheeks after miscueing with an approach.

    Would say none of this crew are particularly happy with their route to the dancefloor. Scattered.

    Finau & English v Lowry & Hatton 1UP (10)

    Tony Finau finds one of the many bunkers down the right of the 11th, after Shane Lowry had popped his drive on the fairway. Harris English follows his team-mate into the sand.

    Tyrrell Hatton sticks his down the middle.

    DeChambeau & Scheffler A/S Fleetwood & Hovland (8)

    The Americans have been playing in the sand on the par four eighth hole.

    Bryson De Chambeau's second shot in bunker smacks into the overhang and... lands behind him. He looks ... very not happy.

    Take two and gets it out and it runs to around 6ft from the pin.

    Scottie Scheffler - also in the sand and for his third shot he is out and it looks as though he feels the ball is oscillating again as he keeps re-assessing at less than six feet out. This is to tie the hole - and he misses.

    That is a huge moment - and we are back to all square.

    Breathe, everyone.
