Europe 5.5 USA 2.5<\/b><\/p>\n
Morning fourballs<\/b><\/p>\n
12.10pm:<\/b> Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Young<\/b> 2<\/b> up v<\/b> Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig \u00c5berg (9)<\/p>\n
12.26pm:<\/b> Harris English and Collin Morikawa <\/b>v Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood 4 up<\/b> (8)<\/p>\n
12.42pm:<\/b> Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay v Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton 1 up<\/b> (6)<\/p>\n
12.58pm:<\/b> Russell Henley and Scottie Scheffler v Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland 2 up<\/b> (5)<\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> DeChambeau birdies the 9th from 16 feet… but Aberg matches him from 7 feet. That\u2019s a half. USA 2 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 2: <\/b>Almost another birdie for Rory and Fleetwood on the 8th, but they get a gift with a bogey from the woeful English and Morikawa grouping. Europe 4 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 4: <\/b>MacIntyre and Hovland go 2 up as Henley misses a par putt at the 5th. He\u2019s struggles so far. Europe 2 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 2:<\/b> Fleetwood leaves it short with his approach at the 7th, McIlroy\u2019s pitch is well short. But USA probably not going to take advantage, English leaves his bunker shot well short of the pin too.<\/p>\n
But Fleetwood makes par from 20 feet again! Loving it on the greens the past few days. Morikawa doesn\u2019t even threaten the hole from 10 feet. Europe 3 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 3: <\/b>Cantlay knocks in a birdie at the 6th from 11 feet. Hatton to halve the hole from 8 feet.. which he gets. Europe 1 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> Aberg misses from six feet! That\u2019s a big few holes for the Americans. USA 2 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 4: <\/b>Scheffler holes from 16 feet for birdie after a clumsy enough chip by Henley. Hovland from six feet makes it though for a half.<\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> A rare bogey by Fitzpatrick and Aberg and USA take advantage as Young takes advantage to put some red on the board. USA 1 up<\/b><\/p>\n
He then hits a dart at the eighth to three feet! Fitzpatrick responds well though, hitting it to six feet for birdie.<\/p>\n
Match 3:<\/b> Another mistake by Europe, Hatton misses a short putt to reduce the deficit to one. Europe 1 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 2:<\/b> A rare mistake by McIlroy on the 6th, who dumps it right in the bunker with a wedge. Shades of the mishit wedge at 13 at Augusta earlier in the year. Still a chance for Fleetwood to get up and down though.<\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> Mediocre pitch by Aberg leaves Fitzpatrick with work to do for par at 7.<\/p>\n
Some people complaining about Bethpage Black playing too easy this week, considerably easier than even the average punter would play it, never mind set up for US Open conditions.<\/p>\n
\nAs I stand in the grandstand at this first tee, I\u2019d like to remind you that this new teebox is utter woke nonsense and this setup is beyond lame.https:\/\/t.co\/irJpJwV7ZS<\/a><\/p>\n

The result of the set-up seems to have backfired for the Americans so far, traditionally they are stronger in that sort of format but have negated the advantage of premium ball-strikers like Scottie Scheffler in harder conditions.<\/p>\n
Match 4: MacIntyre birdies!<\/b> Drains it at pace from 20 feet. Europe 1 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 2: McIlroy birdie! <\/b>Incredible stuff, 22 feet straight in at the 5th. <\/b>Four birdies in a row in foursomes, how can you beat that? Europe 2 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> Aberg hits the better of the approaches at the sixth after USA were down the right. Fitzpatrick\u2019s putt was a good one but just slides by.<\/p>\n
Match 2:<\/b> \u201cHey HackIlroy\u201d Rory hears but still early enough for the heckles with the beer not readily available at 8.20pm local time. Fleetwood hits it middle of the green at the 5th.<\/p>\n
Match 3:<\/b> Great approach by Schauffele at the par 3 3rd to close, Rahm hits a good one too though so Europe has a chance of birdie too… which Hatton makes! <\/b>Rahm and Hatton are a menace in this format. Cantlay follows them in for a birdie.<\/p>\n
Match 2:<\/b> McIlroy\/Fleetwood halve the par 5 with birdies.<\/p>\n
Match 2:<\/b> Best approach at the 2nd by Rahm, hitting from the rough helping the spin. It\u2019s good enough to win the hole as the Americans were in the trees and couldn\u2019t make par. Europe 2 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> Young misses the green, Fitzpatrick safely on at the 5th.<\/p>\n
Match 4:<\/b> Henley with a beautiful wedge shot, which spins back to a few feet. MacIntyre does the same but more spin to about 7 of 8 feet. Well holed for the birdie by Hovland, Scheffler does the same for a half.<\/p>\n
Match 2: Birdie for Fleetwood!<\/b> Another one at the 3rd after a brilliant iron to 7 feet by McIlroy. Such a strong pairing they\u2019ve proved to be. Europe 1 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 1: <\/b>The top match is back to all square as Fitzpatrick chips it stone dead for birdie, Young\u2019s bunker shot is to about 7 or 8 feet and DeChambeau can\u2019t convert. A\/S<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 4: <\/b>Best European drive of the day by Hovland in the final match. Scheffler hits the fairway too.<\/p>\n
Match 2: Fleetwood birdie!<\/b> Holes from the fringe of the green, what a putt! Match A\/S<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 3:<\/b> Good shot by Cantlay from the trees to about 20 feet behind the hole. Outshone massively by a stunning wedge shot to a foot by Hatton! They win the hole after Schauffele misses the putt. Europe 1 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> Aberg goes to the right of the green in two at the par 5 4th, DeChambeau hits it in the bunker.<\/p>\n
Match 3:<\/b> Wayward drive by Schauffele at the 1st, Rahm also off the fairway on the right.<\/p>\n
Match 2:<\/b> McIlroy and English do the same thing as the first match and spin it off the front at the 2nd.<\/p>\n
Match 1: Chip-in by Cameron Young.<\/b> A man inspired and another birdie. Great effort by Fitzpatrick, but the putt just slips by. Americans up in both of the first two matches. USA 1 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 2:<\/b> So close! McIlroy\u2019s chip was looking in all the way but lips out, very unlucky. Birdie for English, well holed. USA 1 up<\/b><\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> Aberg hits the middle of the green at the par 3 3rd. DeChambeau goes over the green but closer in the fringe.<\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> Great chip by Fitzpatrick to a few inches from the hole. Young chips it about 5 feet past, but DeChambeau makes it for the half on the 2nd.<\/p>\n
Match 2:<\/b> Fleetwood is 110 yards in the rough, but bounces through to the rough on the other side of the green. Morikawa hit his approach to about 10 feet.<\/p>\n
McIlroy launches one but doesn\u2019t cut enough of the corner and goes well down the left into the gallery. English hits it into the right fringe.<\/p>\n
Match 1:<\/b> Aberg from 110 yards spins way back into the fringe with a wedge. DeChambeau does the same, but goes further into the rough on the front.<\/p>\n
\nI must say watching the golf yesterday id love to be ripping driver round that gaff\u2026 \ud83d\udca3\ud83d\udc4b<\/p>\n
