if we win this 4-0 I'd be ensuring everyone has played on day 1 that's for sure

I know it’s controversial but I’d leave McIlroy out this afternoon. Won’t happen though.

Re playing with each other’s balls (oo er), they have just said on radio that they don’t alternate but choose one brand per pairing. The captains even take it into account - three out of four Euro pairings use the same balls.

Haha what a horrific hole for the Muricans

There’s a few cracking American accents in the European team🤣🤣

4-0 here we come!

Sillybilly

Afternoon has 2-2 written all over it. But who knows…….

Callumcafc

4-0 it is after the first session. That’s a welcome surprise!

Fitzpatricks on fire. His back must be hurting carrying Rory round

Sillybilly

Fitzy gone bonkers!!!

Don’t know why I’ve only just noticed this, but Fitzpatrick has been putting with the flag in.
I thought that was only allowed if your ball is ‘off’ the green. Am I imagining that rule? Or have they changed the rules?

The rules changed during covid to stop people touching the flag (yes I know……). For a while everyone was doing it but Fitz is the only one who has persevered.

Cheers SB, I didn’t know that 👍

Me too.

We have the final game tied up & now 2 up in the 2nd, so 2-2 should be the bare minimum this afternoon.

Yanks have turned up this afternoon

Rahm. Wow. Just wow

Even more so that he followed Hovland in with almost the same putt 5 mins earlier.

I'll be ok if the 3rd match ends with a win for the US. 6-2 would be a great result on the first day. 

DaveMehmet

Get in Justin, brilliant 

Redvalleyeast

Get in Rosey. Brilliant.

Said it so many times before. Justine Rose has balls of Granite Rock!
