Collin Morikawa vs Tyrrell Hatton 1 Up
Back to the first and Morikawa probably would’ve rathered it was his game called off and not Harris English’s.
That decision yesterday to pair them still fries my head.
Anyway, Morikawa does exceptionally well to save his par.
But Hatton – who was out of position off the tee – pitches it to 6ft and rolls in the birdie to go one up.
Bryson DeChambeau vs Matt Fitzpatrick 5 Up
Those images of DeChambeau out on the practice area last night when everyone else went home?
Maybe he should’ve done likewise.
He’s having a shocker but none worse than the seventh hole, where Fitzpatrick has two putts from 9ft to win the hole. Bryson makes him play them and Fitzpatrick lags it up to eight inches and asks if that one is good.
A rout!
From Joshua Jones at Bethpage
Frustrating for McIlroy on the fifth as he cannot sink his birdie putt while Scottie does well to get up and down from the bunker.
A nice thumbs up from Rory there as Scottie drains a clutch save – these two have plenty of respect for each other and get on fairly well. There has been some chatter at times and the abuse is far less vitriolic than yesterday.
Erica is out here watching her husband Rory alongside Luke Donald’s wife Diane. She has had quite the week but is standing strong.
One coward of an American has just told his mate to heckle – and his impressionable pal did exactly that.
But it is a sarcastic: “You look sexy in those pants, Rory.”

Bryson DeChambeau vs Matt Fitzpatrick 4 Up
Matt Fitzpatrick!
Bryson with another long range putt which looks like it’d only be for a half.
Once again he pulls it left and Fitzpatrick punishes him with a 5ft putt he walks in! 4 Up through six holes!
Cameron Young 1 Up vs Justin Rose
Justin Rose with a missed putt from 7ft and that’s not what you need if you’re Team Europe.
He couldn’t miss yesterday and you don’t want to be handing encouragement of any kind.
Young rolls his putt in from 4ft to win the hole and USA lead in the top match.
