    What a finish to day 1 that is. USA have completely bottled it. Rahm with 2 eagles in 3 holes to half and then the last group to win the last 2 holes to tie.

    NO RED ON THE BOARD.

    So we can win the cup tomorrow then ;)

    What a start. Great decision by Luke Donald to change the sessions round and Rahm at the end wow.

    A long long way to go. Medinah always makes me think that whatever lead either team have will not be enough until it is all over.

    That’s some of the best fun I’ve had watching sport in a long time.

    Those three putts on 18th were just glorious.

    Best sporting event out there, and it’s not close imo.

    Quick start tomorrow and they will give up morale wise.


    Come on Europe.

    By the way. That’s the first time in Ryder Cup history that the USA have failed to win a single match over a full day.

    Cannot be too many times a team has won 4 matches in a session.

    Incredible first day. How big could those three halves in the fourball matches this afternoon be come Sunday? The Americans would have been absolutely delirious if they'd managed to end the day only 3-5 behind.

    They were massive, particularly going into the foursomes they notoriously struggle. We need to turn the screw this morning in particular, get to at least 9-3.

    USA down bigly in first two matches and tied in other two. You get the sense that there is something really amiss in the camp! At this rate, the last day could be a proper damp squib.

    Apparently they have an “illness “

    Funny how that always comes out in times of strife .

    This will be over by the end of today give or take a point or two.

    What a fantastic performance by the Europeans.

    Rattled the Americans and really got the momentum

    This is great, but I'd be livid I was an American. They've come here completely unprepared

    They thought they were coming over with the unbeatable dream team, all players in the top 25 of the world rankings etc.

    How long is it since they won in Europe? 30 years?

    Koepka gets his butt kicked 9 and 7, that'll teach him to keep his big mouth shut.

    Rahm's shot at the 17th. Incredible.

    9.5 - 2.5 after 3 sessions is mad. 5 points out of 16 needed.
