DeChambeau/Young vs Fitzpatrick/Aberg
All square in match one now too as Fitzpatrick and Aberg get one back!
DeChambeau’s approach on the 4th was short and in the bunker and the Americans didn’t recover.
Superb touch from Fitzpatrick meant Aberg doesn’t need to putt and the last remaining red on the board early doors, disappears.
English/Morikawa vs McIlroy/Fleetwood – A/S
What a response from Team Europe!
McIlroy’s approach finds the green, while English’s doesn’t quite. Morikawa can’t convert his chip and Fleetwood DRAINS his 15ft putt!
All square.
From Joshua Jones at Bethpage
Well, this is the dream start for Keegan Bradley.
Young’s chip in following English’s clutch putt – after Rory horseshoed one – sees the Americans 1up in both matches.
Xander and No Hat Pat – now wearing a cap – vs Rahm and Hatton could be blockbuster match play foursomes golf…
Bradley’s morning isn’t quite perfect, though, as he whizzes down the 1st fairway in a buggy – only for the vehicle to get stuck up against a rope. Doh!
Scottie Scheffler will be hoping for a better day today – he hasn’t won any of his last six Ryder Cup matches now – well, it couldn’t get much worse…
Schauffele/Cantlay vs Rahm/Hatton
Cantlay chops out the rough and finds the green, leaving it 14ft from the pin and another look at a birdie for the US.
How can Hatton respond? The answer is SUPERBLY, leaving it no more than 1ft from the hole. That should be conceded, fantastic.
