Patrick Cantlay tickles his pitch on at the 16th. The objective to just get it close rather than in the cup with Shane Lowry in the rough on the left edge.

A bit like the match, the Irishman has been playing catch up, since finding the sand off the tee and went well left with his third.

It's handshakes time with the American on in three and six feet from the hole.

Attention is firmly on the 15th green now. This is a tight junction between 11th and 15th greens, along with 12th and 16th greens.

Galleries are horseshoed around the surface and are 10/15 deep as home fans stretch for a glimpse of what’s happening.

The cheers are eardrum-popping as Scheffler edges the home side closer to victory.

The American player’s partner runs onto the green, he hoists her up into the air.

“Scottie! Scottie! Scottie!” rings round like Balboa has just knocked out Drago.

Bernd Wiesberger with a fantastic second shot on the par four 11th to finish inches from the pin.

Brooks Koepka could not match that and the Austrian pulls one back.

Small steps to salvage a little pride.

What a talent, and what a performance from Scottie Scheffler.

Right now - he's on top of the world.

Jon Rahm is faced with a par putt at 15, a long one too. Glove hanging out his back pocket, the world number one watches intently as the ball wriggles towards the target, but then slides wide!

Rahm does one of though half squat, frustrated floppy-legged lunges, like a toddler who's been told they have to go to bed, and then has to watch on as Scottie Scheffler prods his in to clinch the match in composed fashion.

Rahm strolls over to shake his opponent's hand, before Scheffler whips off his cap and soaks in the applause and embraces his partner. Superb golf from the American.

This hole again just about sums up the week, two nice approach shots, Hovland's better than Morikawa, again that's a hard thing to pull off, but the American makes the putt while Hovland slides his by the right edge.

Obviously it's too simplistic to call this a putting competition but making the putts, when you have to, is what wins you Ryder Cups.

A very emotional Rory McIlroy almost breaks down into tears in his post-match interview with Sky Sports pausing on several occasions. Don't let it be said that this has no meaning for the players...

"I love being part of this team," McIlroy said.

"I love my team-mates so much and I should have done more for them this week. I am glad I got a point on the board for Europe today but I just can't wait to get another shot at this.

"It is by far the best experience in golf and I hope the boys and girls watching this today aspire to play in this and the Solheim Cup because there is nothing better than being part of a team especially with the bond we have in Europe.

"No matter what happens after this I am proud of every single one of those players and our captain and vice captains I just which I could have done a little more.

"I am glad I got a point on the board but it has been a tough week."

Casey fires in a monster putt that Johnson has no answer for and the Englishman manages to get one back on the American team leader.

Tears from Rory McIlroy, that's what this means...

The hat comes off for Rory McIlroy - the match is won, he high fives Xander Shauffele - sent out with all the faith from Captain Harrington and Rory McIlroy does it accordingly.

Well done Rory McIlroy.

He has not had his A game on show this week but claims Europe's first point in the singles.

The Northern Irish golfer almost finishes his match in style with a long birdie putt that almost drops after a superb approach.

Patrick Cantlay has the look of an undefeated player (though I am sure there are plenty of others in red) that does not intend to give his opponent any encouragement at all.

He stiffs his six iron into seven feet on the 15th. Shane Lowry's response coasts on another 15 feet or so.

Lowry's putt is decent rolling up to 22 inches but the American tidies up. Again.

You can look at qualification but a sporting event is two teams and the Americans have been far more superior.

Rip-roaring putt from Koepka on 10 is met by rip-roaring applause from the buzzing home fans.

Seconds later, more celebratory shouts drift up from Finau’s match.

“Tony! Tony! Tony!” can be heard from almost a kilometre ahead.

Not a pleasant place to be a European player or fan at the moment.

Some effort from Hovland on the par three - not many can hit iron shots better than Morikawa but Hovland sticks his much closer than the American and duly converts from a couple of feet to pull one back.

Scottie Scheffler has played some brilliant golf today, his skipping approach to 14 was evidence of that, but the American cannot convert a birdie putt and it lets Jon Rahm back in.

The Spaniard's putt starts a tad left and wheels back right into the heart of the cup. He's now three behind with four to play. Comeback on?!

Life at last in Fleetwood who drains a 30-footer to win the seventh and peg Spieth bag a hole. The celebration is about as muted as you've ever seen for a putt of that distance, but that's a sign of the situation.

Ooof, Bryson. DeChambeau almost holes out with a delightfully clipped approach at 13 but leaves his wedge a foot short. Superb shot. He's all smiles, as you might expect.

Sergio Garcia responds with an equally delicious approach that comes a to a rest four feet beyond the flag and should see him halve the hole.
