Poulter & Rahm vs Spieth & Thomas

The Independent spoke exclusively to Rahm before this year's tournament. Check it out here

Poulter & Rahm vs Spieth & Thomas

Poulter's safely in the fairway. Rahm meanwhile has pured a wood and it's trickled into the water after running out of fairway. Adrenaline or poor club selection?

Garcia & McIlroy (1UP) vs Koepka & Finau

Finau hit the best drive of the four on the par-5 third, but pushes his second. He can't recover either, catching it too clean and it soars over the back. McIlroy shows him how it's done and that tap-in birdie is good enough for the hole.

Fleetwood & Molinari vs Woods & Reed (A/S)

It's all halved at the first with pars but Molinari has hit a wonderful draw into the par-3 second. He was given free reign at it after Fleetwood found the green.

Fleetwood & Molinari (1UP) vs Woods & Reed

Ed Malyon on the course following Europe's dream pair:

Planet Moliwood off to the best possible start, getting away with it on the first and halving that hole before Tommy drains a long putt to put the Europeans ahead. They got quite the reception on the first tee today and continue to be the story of the Ryder Cup so far.

Fleetwood & Molinari (1UP) vs Woods & Reed

What a putt it was..

[29 September 2018 08:20 · Ben Burrows]

Europe are up in two and level in two and Jim Furyk will be concerned with the way things are heading at the moment.

Fleetwood & Molinari (1UP) vs Woods & Reed

Back to Ed Malyon:

Fleetwood takes out his TaylorMade M3 driver and pounds the ball down the 558-yard third hole. Reed is in the water, Woods is in the rough. Opportunity for Europe on the par 5.

Garcia & McIlroy (2UP) vs Koepka & Finau

Garcia hits a wonderful shot into the fourth hole from almost 200 yards away. Both Koepka and Finau fail to make par again so Sergio has two putts for it and the Americans concede. Garcia has been brilliant so far today.

Poulter & Rahm vs Spieth & Thomas (1UP)

Finally something happens for the Americans and it's the resurgent Jordan Spieth. The heat from his beanie has coursed into the clubface and his tee-shot at the par-3 finishes just a few feet away. It's a simple birdie. Rahm found the water for the second hole in a row there...
