Like Bryson and \u00c5berg before them, English and McIlroy both spin their approaches at 2 back onto the fringe at the front. Morikawa nearly chips in; Fleetwood strokes home his long putt! A conservative fist-bump to celebrate the win. No point getting too carried away on the 2nd green. But that\u2019s good news for Europe \u2026 and there\u2019s more on 1, where Schauffele fails to make the 20-footer that remained for birdie. He didn\u2019t give it enough juice.<\/p>\n

Schauffele\/Cantlay v Rahm\/Hatton 1UP (1)<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n Schauffele\u2019s drive at 1 has ended up in the middle of the bunch of trees to the right of the dogleg. Cantlay is forced to whip over the top of them. He does exceptionally well to land his ball in the middle of the green. Schauffele will have a look at birdie from 20 feet or so. Hatton has a much better angle of attack, and from 66 yards lands ten feet in front of the pin. His ball takes a couple of hops forward and stops a couple of inches away. That\u2019ll be conceded. Big putt coming up for Schauffele now.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The third match takes to the 1st tee. Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton. Yay, yay, boo, boo, you know who cops for what. Rahm takes Europe\u2019s first shot, and like \u00c5berg earlier, sends it towards the trees down the right. Schauffele follows him there. Not an ideal start for either pairing.<\/p>\n 1UP DeChambeau\/Young v Fitzpatrick\/\u00c5berg (3) Share<\/a><\/p>\n There\u2019s no stopping that man Cameron Young, who is already staking his claim to be the player of the tournament, he\u2019s been that good. He chips in from the fringe to the side of the par-three 3rd, and the USA have another splash of red on the board. \u201cNot a surprise to see Michael Jordan there,\u201d begins Phil Crockford. \u201cHe is a very keen golfer, and once got banned from a golf course because he was wearing the wrong type of shorts. Obviously, he then bought a golf course a few miles up the road.\u201d<\/p>\n 1UP DeChambeau\/Young v Fitzpatrick\/\u00c5berg (3) Share<\/a><\/p>\n McIlroy nearly holes that next shot! He\u2019s not got much green to work with, but pops his chip onto the fringe, then rolls it out, straight towards the flag. Or straight until it\u2019s last couple of turns, anyway, when it drifts a couple of millimetres to the left, enough for it to horseshoe out. So close to a gallery-busting birdie! And the pain doubles for Rory as English steers in his gentle left-to-right slider for birdie. The first splash of colour on today\u2019s board is US red!<\/p>\n DeChambeau\/Young A\/S Fitzpatrick\/\u00c5berg (2) Share<\/a><\/p>\n Fleetwood\u2019s second into 1 isn\u2019t all that, missing the green to the right. The door\u2019s open for Morikawa, who from 86 yards wedges over the flag \u2026 but doesn\u2019t get too much backspin. He\u2019s left English with a 15-footer for birdie, while McIlroy faces an awkward chip. Still advantage USA, but Morikawa\u2019s missed the opportunity to put serious pressure on McIlroy\u2019s next shot.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u2026 but Young trundles his chip eight feet past. Fitzpatrick, with his trademark cross-handed chipping grip, wedges to tap-in distance. So close to a chip-in. But then Bryson, like \u00c5berg on the 1st, rescues the situation by rolling in his putt. Tied after 2, and this is already shaping up to be quite the battle.<\/p>\n DeChambeau\/Young A\/S Fitzpatrick\/\u00c5berg (2) Share<\/a><\/p>\n Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young send their drives at 2 down the middle. Ludvig \u00c5berg finds the green with his approach but the ball spins back into the fringe. Bryson should learn something about how receptive the greens are, but doesn\u2019t, spinning America\u2019s second back into the thicker stuff behind the fringe. Slight advantage to Europe here, with the not inconsiderable caveat of the hot-in-form Young taking Team USA\u2019s next shot.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Back on the 1st tee, Rory McIlroy is roundly abused in the pantomime style. He throws back a couple of theatrical kisses to the gallery. A cheeky smile. All good knockabout fun. Everyone enjoying it. He takes the first shot of match two \u2026 but with the adrenalin pumping, lashes his drive into the gallery down the left! We\u2019ve not seen anyone over there yet. McIlroy and his partner Tommy Fleetwood were excellent yesterday; their opponents here, Harris English and Collin Morikawa, not so much. But English starts well by finding the semi-rough down the right of the fairway. Advantage USA.<\/p>\n Rory takes the bantz!

It\u2019s clearly going to be conceded, but he\u2019s not going to shoot Europe a glance begging for it. Looking needy? Nope! No sir. No quarter given. But when Fitzpatrick arrives on the scene, he tells DeChambeau to pick up his coin. Then \u00c5berg rolls in the birdie putt, a glorious response to DeChambeau and Young\u2019s perfect start, and gives the air a little rabbit punch himself. This is on! This\u2019ll do just nicely! Seventeen more holes of this, please!<\/p>\n DeChambeau\/Young A\/S Fitzpatrick\/\u00c5berg (1)<\/p>\n Bryson DeChambeau tees off the second day. Photograph: Jared C Tilton\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a007.35 EDT<\/p>\n Cameron Young was in stellar form yesterday, and he immediately keeps on keepin\u2019 on. From the centre of the fairway, he lands his wedge 15 feet past the flag, then screws it back to tap-in distance! Sensational! In the stand, the living legend Michael Jordan, game recognising game, punches the air in delight. That\u2019ll be a gimme birdie. Matt Fitzpatrick, from a tight angle in the rough to the right, wedges to ten feet. Under normal circumstances, we’d be praising that shot to the hilt. After what Young\u2019s just done, that\u2019s not going to happen. \u00c5berg at least with a chance for birdie, though.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Luke Donald\u2019s turn, and he\u2019s asked about the positives he took from yesterday\u2019s performance. \u201cThe resiliency of the guys \u2026 how they handled the moment \u2026 got off to a great start \u2026 finished strong \u2026 it gets loud when you cross the road but they handled it great \u2026 we celebrated yesterday because it was a great day for us but we know there\u2019s a lot more work ahead \u2026 keep going \u2026 momentum \u2026 get some blue on the board early \u2026 we have a plan, depending on how this morning goes, either way \u2026 I\u2019m very confident that whatever happens, we\u2019ll be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Keegan Bradley dispenses some folksy charm on US television. \u201cWe\u2019re ready for a fight \u2026 seems like New York has woken up a little bit here \u2026 crowd\u2019s goin\u2019 \u2026 I\u2019m excited \u2026 I gotta good feeling about today \u2026 we\u2019re currently in the firing-up zone right now, we\u2019ll worry about pulling back later today \u2026 I just want [Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler] to be them, to go out there and be the best players they can be \u2026 be the leaders of this team and go out and get some points for us today!\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n They\u2019re at it again: \u201cDe! Cham!! BEAU!!! \/ De! Cham!! BEAU!!! \/ De! Cham!! BEAU!!!\u201d Bryson lost both of his matches yesterday, but he brought the noise regardless, and today\u2019s partner Cameron Young was nigh-on perfect on his Ryder Cup<\/a> debut in the afternoon, the main reason Ludvig \u00c5berg and Rasmus H\u00f8jgaard were shredded 6&5. (To be fair, Young\u2019s partner Justin Thomas admitted as much, telling a post-match interviewer that he enjoyed the best seat in the house for the show Young put on.) So this is going to be quite a test for \u00c5berg and Matt Fitzpatrick \u2026 and the former carves Europe\u2019s opening tee shot towards the trees near the left-to-right dogleg. Not ideal. Bryson takes America\u2019s first strike of the day, and larrups a beauty over the corner, landing his ball 40 yards shy of the green. Perfection. \u201cDe! Cham!! BEAU!!! \/ De! Cham!! BEAU!!! \/ De! Cham!! BEAU!!!\u201d They\u2019re at it again. Again!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n The American fans have got themselves a new chant. Derived from the classic \u201cU! S!! A!!! \/ U! S!!
