The Miracle of Medinah Golf: Ryder Cup

To try and put some pressure on Luke. He's done it.

That is a wicked 4, isn't it?

Now, Luke has got to make his for the half.

This will be enormous for Ian Poulter to get back to even stevens.

Win the 8th with a par.

CHEERING

Again.

It's not often you get a reaction like that for a par...

..this week,

and it is politically correct this week.

Back to all square.

Two up to stay two up.

Well done.

APPLAUSE

It seems a little bit quieter out on the course now, though.

Well, Phil Mickelson's fourth...

his third shot from the right-hand rough was like a flying wedge.

That was... That was a flying wedge, too.

Got a feeling that...

Rose is moving his mark about.

-What is Phil saying? "That's good, mate."

-He's conceded.

Roy McIlroy.

Birdie at the 8th par-3. Very awkward putt.

It's kind of like up and over a mound.

Right there.

Will it funnel down? No, it's not.

It's gone racing round the high side.

Look at the turn.

Very difficult, these greens, to judge.

They really speed up, and rolled.

195 yards. Just a short iron for Phil Mickelson.

He's given it the twirl.

We know what that means.

CHEERING

Fabulous golf shot.

Wonderful tee shot from Keegan Bradley at the 8th.

Here he goes again.

CHEERING

He's holed some putts this week.

Wonderful.

McIlroy only one up now.

From the front of the sixth green,

Justin Johnson has this to win the hole.

It'd be a miracle if he makes it.

Down the other side.

And he's made it. That is a miracle.

What a putt.

What a putt.

Dustin Johnson. He goes one up.

Do it every time.

Second for Luke Donald at 11.

Bubba - middle of the green.

Can Luke get it in that back left corner? It looks good.

Oh, yes.

Very brave shot.

Birdie putt for Justin Rose from right-hand side of the green.

25 feet.

Oh, release.

CROWD GROANS

GMac needs this little boost.

I think he's three down on the 5th.

There we go. Well done. That will help.

Just got to keep trying. Never give in today.

Stricker to go one up.

Chance of a 2.

He hasn't hit it, has he?

Yes, he has. Just lacking in pace.

Steve Stricker goes one up on Martin Kaymer at the 2nd.

APPLAUSE

Luke Donald now. Great opportunity to win.

Yes. And a fist pump.

Luke sending the message out onto the golf course.

Now three up.

McIlroy.

Second to 9.

Lovely judged.

Swirling breeze... It's difficult to pick the right club.

But smashing from Rory.

After that wonderful tee shot of Phil Mickelson's...

this to win the hole,

square the match. There'll be a huge roar if it goes in.

And there it is. He's after it.

CHEERING

Those cheers resound round the golf course.

McIlroy one up in his match playing Keegan Bradley.

Wonderful approach to the 9th.

Can Bradley follow it?

APPLAUSE

Two birdie chances.

Mr Steady Eddie, Jim Furyk.

Playing against Sergio Garcia.

Match all-square. Second to the 5th.

It's just raining down with birdies and eagles.

Fantastic golfing play.

Well, here they are now. Keegan Bradley.

Can he get in the hole first?

No, opens the door big time to Rory.

After ten minutes' warm-up,

can Rory go two above the 9?

Oh, he does. What a message.

CHEERING

Another great cheer. Look Donald goes to three up, Rory two up.

Starting to get some depth in the blue numbers now.

Let's have a look at what the leaderboard looks like.

Well, it's still pretty close. No-one has got away.

Luke Donald is playing the 12th at three up.

It's all still to play for.

But Europe must make something out of those opening five, six matches.

Poulter's response...

coming out the first cut.

A little 5-wood.

Plenty of loft on this one.

He gives it a bit of a heave as well. Is it turning back?

The 9th and Rose from a good angle,

coming out of the light rough.

Yes, yes, that's a gimme. Thank you very much.

"Anything you can do, I can do better," he says to Phil.

It's the second shot here at the 12th.

Cannot go right of this flag.

Oh, nearly got a fist full of flavour.

Get up there.

Careful, careful.

They've only got one hole location on this green -

on that middle-to-back right-hand corner.

Rest of the green is unusable.

Massive tee shot from Phil Mickelson up the 9th.

Going for the high, spinny one.

CHEERING

I'm surprised he didn't send Bones up there to tend the flag

for that one like he did in San Diego couple of years ago.

This will test Bubba's touch.

It most definitely will.

Uphill all the way

and then the last ten feet or so,

if he gets over the hill,

then it's going to fall round the corner.

He struggled on that.

Mickelson to halve the 9th.

He's not going to come back from there.

So Justin Rose, taking the United States' king on, is one up.

Well, birdie to win.

But he might get two bites at this cherry.

Get up there. Because Bubba's got a very difficult ten-footer.

I don't think that will be given, though.

But it's a straightforward putt.

Tiger Woods playing Francesco Molinari.

Par putt.

Oh.

It's going to be conceded, I think.

Molinari goes one up at the 2nd.

Awkward twisting putt.

He gives it a bash.

Oh, it might.

I thought for a moment it was going right the way round

and fall backwards.

So, Donald now...

Well, he always had the door shut yesterday

when he went four up against Tiger

and of course they came charging back.

So this to go 4 up.

I'm sure mentally today he will not let...

make any assumptions.

Put the hammer down, keep playing hard.

CROWD CHEERS

Gets a fiver.

Europe now, blue, exactly what they needed.

Blue through the first five matches.

Jim Furyk.

A 5th and an uncharacteristic putt.

He normally gives them a chance to win.

Paul Lawrie, a couple up, look at that.

This is the second shot into the ninth.

Just about everybody has got it close here.

Something around the hole. A wonderful shot, as well.

APPLAUSE

Europe on a lovely roll right now.

Ian Poulter's splashed out to here from the front bunker.

This is for a birdie at the 10.

Here we go again. Is it the old...?

No.

Unlike him to misread it by that much, just a par.

Matt Kuchar, here.

Against Lee Westwood.

This is for a half at the really awkwardly difficult...

Oh, hello, hello, hello!

Haven't seen one of those for a while.

That was around the corner, wasn't it?

Huge putt for Webb Simpson.

This to go 1-up against Ian Poulter.

Yes, Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So he's the only match in the opening five groups to be ahead.

Jason Dufner.

Who I've grown to love this week. His second to the 5th.

Oh, it's just fantastic!

CHEERING

Par-5, this 5th,

536 yards, upped it all the way and the magical approach from Dufner.

Paul Lawrie.

At the 9th.

Bangs another one in!

CHEERING

Suddenly the Scotsman, finding his putting touch, goes 3-up

against Brandt Snedeker.

Tiger Woods, last match.

1-down, second shot to the 3rd.

And a beauty.

CHEERING

Now, McIlroy, third shot, 10th hole.

2-up.

Not bad, a little too much sand.

Molinari.

Second shot to the 3rd, Tiger's played a good one.

Molinari 1-up.

CHEERING

Oh, yes! There aren't many straighter hitters

than this lad, Molinari.

Beautiful striker.

Bradley's third shot at the 10th.

McIlroy, ten to 12ft away in three.

A very good effort.

It's almost as good as you could possibly do.

Both played three.

Tiger Woods for three and a birdie at the 3rd hole.

Molinari very close with his second.

Sliding right...

Whoa, oh, oh.

McIlroy at the 10th, a birdie chance.

He knew he'd pushed it.

Keegan Bradley, this to win the hole.

McIlroy missed his birdie chance.

And...

CHEERING

..Once again makes it.

His putting has been absolutely stunning this week under pressure.

Rory just 1-up against the Ryder Cup rookie.

This to go 2-up at the 5th.

CHEERING

Trickled it in.

2-up on Hanson.

3rd green, and Francesco Molinari, what a turnaround this would be.

Tiger had a 3, this to win the hole.

And he goes 2-up against Tiger Woods.

CHEERING

Three holes gone.

Perfect angle to get the pin at the 9th

and we've seen plenty of birdies here. Colsaerts...

A skip. Oh!

Man, he doesn't need a skip!

I think it nicked the flag as it went by.

The Blues are shining out.

We need 8½ points, still a big ask.

Bit on the American side, it's only Zach Johnson

and Jason Dufner that are 2-up.

Dustin Johnson must hole this

to halve the hole.

Heavy, heavy.

Way short.

Turn up for the book, that's rather nice, match all-square!

Justin Rose, long bunker shot here at the 10th.

Mickelson's played three, about 10 feet away.

Oh, well done! Very well done!

Freshening wind, and that was a good shot.

Right bunker at the 11th for Rory McIlroy.

Tight pin,

has he over-attacked?

Oh, he has.

It's virtually impossible to get down in two from there,

unless you hole a 15/18-footer.

Now, Zach Johnson...

..playing McDowell, Two putts to win the hole.

Only needs...

When you have two for it, take 'em.

McDowell continues his struggles.

Zach Johnson, 3-up.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ideal spot for Keegan Bradley, his second to the 11th.

Rory in trouble.

Ooh, had some action on it.

14th, 600-yard par-5.

Green in range for Donald.

Oh!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I think this is all over, bar the putting.

Was that his second shot?

-Yeah.

-600 yards?

-Yeah!

Now Bubba Watson's second shot here at the 14th.

Luke Donald played an absolute gem.

Off line, they don't like it up 'em, sir.

What's he going to do with this?

No green to work with, it looks like he's going to try and bunt it

into the fringe or something.

CROWD: Aw!

Oh, that's sheer genius!

He did a little upslope with the bunker there

and killed it, Seve-like.

Jose Maria Olazabal keeping his beady eye on things.

Keegan Bradley.

Putt to win the hole.

A bit too hard. But stone dead.

Good 4.

Webb Simpson, Ian Poulter, 1-down.

Poulter, beautifully ten or 12 feet from the hole.

Go!

That is...

CHEERING

..Side-by-side, two cracking shots.

Luke Donald, this to win the match against

Bubba Watson.

And it's for an eagle.

Oh!

I think he thought he had it.

He's given it to him.

They move to the 15th.

Luke Donald, 4-up, with four to play.

McIlroy to halve the hole.

And stay 1-up.

Which he does, very, very, VERY important putt.

That was a fantastic up-and-down from an impossible situation

alongside the green.

A bit of luck, bit of masterstroke.

Europe up in six matches, down in four.

Two matches all-square,

so a slight advantage to Europe,

but the early matches, which are the key ones,

which will finish more quickly, Europe up in most of those.

4th green.

This is Molinari's par to halve the hole.

CHEERING

Just 1-up against Tiger Woods.

Last match out, he's played four holes.

Just outside, Webb Simpson.

This for his birdie at 12.

Up the hill, right-to-left, are we going to see another one of those?

It's not going to turn, is it? It is, you know.

Right in the heart of the Cup for Ian Poulter.

In for a 3, putting pressure right back on his opponent.

Terrific.

Snedeker, this putt to win the hole,

get one back. Paul Lawrie at this moment, 3-up.

CHEERING

That's 2-down.

Webb Simpson, this to halve the hole with Ian Poulter,

who's currently 1-up.

After that brilliant putt of Poulter's,

it isn't going to happen.

The match is now all-square.

A very scare thing, a 3 at the 12th.

Rose, third shot, must hole it.

In!

I think that will be a concession.

Match all-square.

Westwood, to halve the hole and stay 1-up.

Oh, too hard!

You can't buy a putt,

that was poor. Match all-square.

First match out,

had a chance at the last to win the match, here's another one.

Oh, my goodness!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Missed by a mile!

Two misreads, the match goes on.

It's all too much for me.

Dufner, a couple ahead of Peter Hanson.

Second to the 7th.

Oh, another...

..gem of a shot.

It's not, is it?

Duffy, Duffy, Duffy. He's already made one eagle at the 5th,

another chance of an eagle at the 7th.

Colsaerts.

For a birdie and to win the hole, to go 1-up against Dustin.

Keep your head still.

Ooh...oh, no.

At the end of the day, you say, "If I'd only holed that,

"we might have won."

Keegan Bradley, a putt to win the hole.

Not a cinch to get down in two from up here.

CROWD: Oh!

That's a wonderful judgment of pace down the hill.

He certainly covers a lot of ground during 18 holes.

Now this is tricky.

Played a marvellous shot at the last hole.

Needs another.

Couldn't stop short, could it?

Couldn't stop short.

It can, it's drifting off a little bit.

The captain hasn't been very visible,

not like some I've seen in the past, whizzing about.

Not like Seve, was he?

It has been very interesting last ten minutes.

Things have changed quickly.

This would be an absolutely timely one for Rory to hole,

keep ahead in the match.

Given it a run.

Oh! All-square.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Match all-square.

Keegan Bradley undefeated this week.

A match Donald would like to have finished, he has had a couple

of chances at 14 and 15. This is his approach to 16.

3-up with three.

Hurry, hurry, and it has hurried.

Any time you find the 16th in two,

you smile.

Big tee shot from Bubba.

He has got to make a birdie.

You don't get many of those at 16.

He's after it.

Oh!

Needed a yard more.

Haven't seen much of Martin Kaymer, but he's going along steadily away.

He's got two putts here to square his match.

And does it successfully.

Kaymer and Steve Stricker all square

as they move to the par-5 7th.

Third shot for Bubba Watson.

It's got to go in, I fancy.

Oh, it's a good effort.

Oh, I wouldn't believe it - I don't believe it, I've seen it!

This is his third shot.

Luke Donald's nicely - I never looked anywhere else.

Magnificent shot.

Wow...it's fantastic stuff, isn't it?

I think - well, he's blasting past the 60 birdies already.

Luke Donald's had two opportunities, the two previous greens.

Now, this is - what is it, 12 yards?

This to win the match, otherwise we go on another hole.

No.

2-up, two to play.

Donald not feeling very well at this precise moment.

Quiet at the 11th, as Paul Lawrie...

This is to win the hole -

brushes it in, simple as that.

Wonderful 3, so...

Snedeker under a bit of pressure.

17th and Bubba Watson.

Par-3.

-Down the hill.

-You're kidding me!

Where is this going?

Oh, no!

Either mis-clubbed or misjudged the breeze.

Yeah, he's lost the breeze. That's probably cost him the match.

Well, a third opportunity for Luke Donald, now.

His nerves must be a little bit tweaky.

One good, clean hit, find the green, job done.

Looks smooth.

COMMENTATOR LAUGHS

The drama continues, Ken.

Both being deceived by the wind.

At the 8th, and Dufner to go 4-up against Peter Hanson.

And he bombs another one in - two eagles,

two birdies on his card so far.

Three birdies.

Normally a master blaster, but this, a very awkward one,

green running away from you.

Oh, settle, settle, settle, settle...

Almost certainly must be a match winner.

What a masterstroke. Absolute masterstroke, Ken.

The trouble with these matches, you're never quite sure

when they are over.

Spectacular things happen.

That'll be given. So, he's in for a 3.

Where's Bubba?

Remember that game "Where's Wally?" Well, where's Bubba? There he is.

Well, he holed out on the last hole, an impossible shot.

Surely he can't do it again.

No, he can't.

A win, the first points on the board for Europe.

Very fine victory by Luke Donald.

Well, the Europeans will think, or hope,

that's the first of many points.

In the end - a bit tricky at the end, Ken,

but came through, played well, didn't he?

He did play some wonderful golf - missed a couple of opportunities,

but gets the first points on the board for Europe,

absolutely critical.

Well done, Luke.

Here's how it looks.

It's pretty even.

The US, in that middle section,

getting a bit of an advantage,

particularly with Zach Johnson

and Jason Dufner.

What can I say? It's a relief, in a way,

to get it done - you know, I didn't want to go down 18.

Being 4-up with four to play,

again, Bubba, that chip-in was pretty amazing by him

to keep the match going.

Give us an idea of your feelings

as the person being asked to lead out Europe

when you know you've got such a deficit to try and claw back.

Well, it's a different pressure, going out number one.

I think Ollie expected a lot from me, um...

He rested me on Friday afternoon for a reason,

to be strong for the end of Saturday and today

and I delivered two points - hopefully, it's good enough.

The boys are going to have to push hard

but we're going to go out there and cheer them on.

Snedeker at the 12th. This for a par.

Playing Paul Lawrie, who's in great form. He's 3-up.

That slid way by.

Concession.

Paul Lawrie marches on.

Last match, Tiger Woods.

This, to square the match.

All square.

Snedeker.

Putt to halve the hole here at the 14th.

He's 4-down.

He's 5-down.

Well done, Paul Lawrie -

what a cracking round of golf he's played today.

Colsaerts, two putts to win the hole here at the 12th.

Don't do anything foolish.

He hasn't.

COMMENTATOR LAUGHS

Gets one back, just 1-down.

McIlroy...

Yeah, very well done.

Garcia's third shot on 10.

71-yard par-5, downbreeze.

Just give it a nudge...

There we go. It's a good nudge.

A very good nudge - how about that?

Puts them back to all square.

Keegan Bradley, fourth shot, here.

What a serious upslope -

you have to thump this one hard.

Just stick the club head in...

Oh, really well played.

Nice exhibition from these two guys on how to escape the sand.

Amazing how quickly things can change.

This is for a par for Keegan Bradley.

And wriggles it in - Rory's still got a putt to win the hole.

This to win the hole.

Rory to go one up.

Lovely bunker shot -

finds a cup at last.

He's had a few chances, but eventually, gets ahead.

Matt Kuchar, a ticklish putt here to halve the hole.

Down the slope, he's already missed...

Another short one, so Kuchar's putting's gone a bit quiet.

Westwood, 1-up.

Dustin Johnson at 1-up,

but this for the half.

Oh...

She slides.

So, another match back to even-stevens - my goodness.

Our two key matches at the moment

are Webb Simpson vs Ian Poulter

and Phil Mickelson vs Justin Rose.

They will tell the final story,

what comes out of those will be key.

You've got to get to 14½ points

to win the cup.

There's the current score, there.

If it all finished now...

We don't want to see that in Europe right now.

Rory, second shot into 15.

Doesn't have to get too clever with this one.

Just throw it up there, make it stay...

Oh, that is clever.

COMMENTATOR LAUGHS

That's smarter than the average bear.

Definitely smarter than the average bear, that one, Boo-Boo.

The Swede, Peter Hanson.

He's hit an express train today,

in Jason Dufner, but sneaks one back.

3-down.

What are you thinking, Ken?

Chances slim and none?

Yeah, I think you're right.

My goodness, it's gone miles in the air.

Oh, my goodness gracious me!

That's unbelievable.

No need to add to your "Goodness gracious me" there, Ken.

That was incredible.

What a lovely divot.

Well, I feel the Ryder Cup matches are hinging towards America,

this brilliant shot of Keegan Bradley's.

If this goes - wait for the reaction...

So, at 14th, Phil Mickelson,

after being down against Justin Rose,

now has this to go 1-up.

Rose can't believe that. A couple of sloppy mistakes

and now you're 1-down.

McIlroy. This to win the hole.

Beautifully done, couldn't have played it better.

Simplest of 3s, goes 2-up.

Three more holes left.

The 9th...

Kaymer just got his birdie.

This, to halve the hole.

And Steve's missed it.

Stevie Stricker.

Martin Kaymer goes 1-up.

Just ebbs and flows.

Suddenly, we've got a splash of blue

on the right-hand side now.

Martin Kaymer, making a big effort.

Lee Westwood been given

a couple of short putts from Kuchar.

So...now got to turn a couple of

those all squares into blue as well

and you never know...

Well, Paul Lawrie now has the luxury...

Brush this one in to win the match. Bit of a stretch.

Go on, then.

Well...oh!

Great effort.

Sneds has a chance, though,

to win it.

Kuchar has already missed

two short putts today -

probably the only two

he's missed all year.

Oh, pressure-packed moment.

Poulter on 17 after a fabulous two here last night.

That's a great, great shot. Take the flag out of play.

Back of the green. It's a fabulous effort.

Snedeker has to hole this putt,

otherwise it's a second point coming to Europe.

And...

He's done it.

Excellent putt. Excellent putt.

Snedeker, 4-down, Paul Lawrie, 4-up.

Webb Simpson, from 191 yards, the elevated tee.

Yeah, Poulter on the back of the green.

This is a moment where...

A great shot to win, or a poor shot could lose it.

And he's hooked it...

And plugged it. Absolutely - that is done and dusted from up there.

No chance.

Dustin...

That's the longest drive at the 14th.

Oh - right down the garden path, a huge break.

How long was that golf ball in the air for?

What a golf shot.

Well, I really feel Justin Rose, personally,

shouldn't have done for this green,

just because Phil had hit that front edge,

an iron down the fairway,

like Rory did, a little wedge to inside ten feet,

almost guaranteed nine times out of ten.

There we go, that's left a really difficult shot.

It's not out of it yet. Phil's not in.

Another bunker shot.

Nicolas Colsaerts,

ball well below his feet.

This is awkward.

Got to set the wrist hard,

give it a good stab - there you go.

That should release.

Sure did - that was pretty good, from that lie.

Pretty good to very good.

Well, Justin needs a miracle, here.

He's got to come out fast and running.

Can he jam it against the flag?

That is five-star.

Terrific effort, that.

After that fine bunker shot,

a birdie putt.

Oh...

Another massive moment. Phil 1-up.

Holes this...

And...

No - wow. Let's Justin Rose off the hook.

2-up with three to play.

Could have been very significant.

Two putts for Dustin Johnson.

He's given it a go, unnecessarily,

but that should be enough to go one up.

And it is - been conceded my Nicolas Colsaerts.

Webb Simpson, sizing up a just short of impossible shot -

plugged on the back slope, maybe he can, kind of...

A professional duff into the rough

and let it feed onto the green.,

He did better than that. Did he get it?

No, it's not going to stop,

but that is really good,

better than I thought that that lie...

The opportunity from that lie.

11th green, Jason Dufner, comfortably up.

This for a simple half...

Oh - hello, hello.

Jim Furyk at the 12th.

And goes 1-up against Sergio Garcia.

Davis Love III will be breathing a little easier.

Poulter from the back of 17.

All he needs to do is just cosy it down...

-LAUGHING:

-He just wanted a couple more turns out of that one.

Webb Simpson's still got about a 10-footer for his 3.

Paul Lawrie's laid up at the 15th, par-4,

putting at the front of the green, straight downbreeze.

That'll do nicely.

Not quite concedable.

Towards the end of the day, every putt is big.

This is to stay all-square for the match.

And...no.

So Poulter one up playing the last now.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Sneds is getting a right drumming.

That'll probably be take the hats off...

You would have thought so. Yes.

Well played, Paul Lawrie.

I always thought he was a good dark horse this week

and he has played really well.

Rory rarely shies away from pins. This is a dangerous one.

Swirling breeze, change in elevation.

Tucked in the tight right side.

CHEERING That'll do nicely.

He has a leading average on the European tour

at 2.99 on the par threes.

A glimmer of hope for Rose here with Mickelson in trouble.

He needs to get it over that hill to put Phil under some pressure.

He has put himself under pressure.

Paul, many congratulations.

That must be extremely satisfying,

-to do that once again in Ryder Cup colours.

-Yes, it was nice.

Obviously we didn't get much out of my first two matches.

Played all right but just putted. Horrible this week until today.

Came out on the putting green earlier this morning and worked out

a few bits and pieces and was about six under there so it was nice.

An impressive performance.

What sort of chat did you have yesterday to help inspire you guys?

We see you are wearing the Seve colours.

Yes, well, Jose is an inspiring guy.

You know how much this tournament means to him.

He gave another speech where some of the players were crying.

I never cried so much in my life this week with Jose as captain.

He is just very emotional and you just want to do it for him.

It looks like these days you get one go as being captain

so for him to have the crew he has had and not win this week

would be devastating so we're all out here trying our best.

-Tantalising pin.

-It is quite funny. Keegan Bradley

is the leader on the PGA tour, on par-3 for 2.99 average.

But not with that follow-through.

That must be left.

CHEERING

Wow. Off the bank, you would have thought.

It looked like a shocker on the follow-through.

Pitched high up the bank and it seemed to bounce straight backwards.

A huge break for him.

Phil once again on an uphill lie.

He is a master at conjuring up something different to fit

the situation but these two boys tested now.

Kaymer in a spot of bother at the 10th, just to halve the hole.

APPLAUSE

What a day it's been.

All the bottom matches, the last three matches, all square.

Kuchar-Westwood, Stricker-Kaymer Tiger Woods-Molinari all level.

And there is confirmation of it.

Davis Love III will be very happy with

Mickelson, Johnson, Johnson, Furyk and Dufner. All ahead.

Rose needs to make a putt on 16 and hope his opponent misses.

That's Phil up first. That's 16.

CHEERING

The momentum of matchplay.

He knows it, everybody knows it.

He's going to milk this one for a while.

McIlroy to win his match.

Come on, Justin. You have holed absolutely nothing today.

Give yourself a chance. This, to halve the hole. And he's done it!

CHEERING

Absolutely brilliantly.

Very nice.

Well, Keegan Bradley has had a fabulous week

but this to stay alive.

17th green.

And... No, it isn't.

It is going to be a fabulous story in the papers tomorrow.

Rory arrives with 11 minutes to play, has six practice swings

and three putts and beats Keegan Bradley.

First time Keegan Bradley has been beaten this week. Well done, Rory.

You've done what you had to do. Thank you.

He has had some tremendous support. World number one. Superstar.

I would love to know what shot Poulter has got.

Big hoist over the trees.

In his Batman cape there. Poulter needs to be Superman and he was!

My goodness, what a golf shot!

Webb Simpson knows he has to make a birdie.

He is one down and that is an unlikely putt to be holed.

Rory, great win. Everyone wants to talk about how you got here to the course this morning.

-Tell us what happened.

-I thought I was off at 12:25 instead of 11:25

and I was casually making my way out of the hotel room door

and got a call saying "You have got 25 minutes to tee off,"

and I was a bit worried then, but as soon as I got to the course,

I was fine and settled into the match and obviously, delighted to win.

How did that happen, though?

I read the tee times on my phone

and they are obviously in Eastern time and it is Central time here

so obviously knock an hour back so... One of those things.

-Police car, police escort, what was it to the course?

-Yes, police car.

In the front of the police car. At least I wasn't in the back. But no.

Police car and got here as fast as we could.

OK, just tell us how you played after that, obviously

because great to take down a man who has been a bulwark for the US side.

I played great, you know. I was very solid out there today.

I didn't really do much wrong, you know,

and he made a few mistakes and I took advantage of that.

Rose and Mickelson, so much going on behind you and you want to go out and cheer

but how do you think it looks from a European point of view at the moment?

We have got off to a good start but there is a lot of tight matches in the middle

and at the end and if we can turn around or get them to go our way, we still have a great chance.

-Thanks, Rory.

-Thank you.

Back to the 13th. Garcia.

This to win the hole.

Lovely time, yes.

CHEERING

Can I hear you?

Can I hear you calling? Look at the red behind him.

No wonder!

That was little bit sarcastic. Can I hear you?

Last match out.

Molinari versus Tiger. This is to win the hole.

And well done down the slope at number ten.

Francesco Molinari goes one up.

Now, so, up for that fabulous putt on 16 from both these players,

they come to 17, the real pressure hole.

Oh!

Rush of adrenaline there from Phil.

Hanson clawing his way back. Was four down...

CHEERING How about this?

Couple of Dufner bogeys. He has bogeyed the 11th and 12th.

Now Colsaerts to halve the hole.

That's poor, fella.

He has burned more edges than anybody else, this week.

So Webb Simpson from an impossible position.

Two humps, one there and the other one in the start now.

It swings hard left to right.

A shot in a million.

CROWD: Ohh!

I should think caps will be off.

Ian Poulter, congratulations.

What a fabulous week. Gets us to ten-all.

Both teams need four more points.

What a week for Ian Poulter. Played four, won four.

Made some tremendous putts. He has been a joy to watch.

Ian, 100% record for you. Very many congratulations.

It all came down to that second shot. Battle royal with Webb today.

It was unbelievable.

I didn't have my best golf earlier on and I've made a few mistakes.

Webb, he's a solid player and he's always going to be in the hole.

I was out the hole a couple of times early. I had to stick in there.

The boys at the front done exactly what they said they were

going to do last night and that's try and bring a point home.

You know, it was just unbelievable. It was an believable finish.

It was very tense. And, you know, we have got a great chance.

Can you quantify, can you describe what

happens to you in a Ryder Cup that you can deliver these performances?

I don't know.

You know, I love this format, I love the team, everything about it.

I just... I love it.

We have got Seve on the arm,

Seve on the bag, we've got Olly - it's pretty special.

You are tearing up about it and I don't blame you.

Ten points apiece. How do you view the situation now, Ian?

The boys have just got to come, I mean, somehow come good.

The team spirit last night in that team room was unbelievable.

The buzz, the electricity.

I just felt something might be possible today and you know what?

We have never done it before and...

They done it to us in '99 and who knows?

I mean, it could be the greatest turnaround of all time for Europe.

Typical Phil Mickelson style. Got the flag stick out. What is he thinking?

Is he thinking the impossible? Oh, what a try. What a try!

He can't believe... oh, here is his man.

I bet that stung!

Well, you have got to feel this is a critical point.

Europe can't afford to lose it.

This is almost like, you know, the slope, the height.

Going the other way at the 16th green at Augusta National, you know

how that one slopes - pin's always on the right.

Go on, release. Oh! Crash, bang, wallop!

Where did that come from?

Give it up...

big-time for Justin Rose!

This is amazing stuff!

This point, I think, is vital. Match all square as they go to the 18th.

Couldn't write this story if you tried.

Kuchar...

Putting at the 12th, match all square.

This to stay all square.

Oh, no. No, no, no.

Well! The nerve ends are really beginning to tingle!

Dufner long putt to win the hole. Here at the 13th.

Just one up now.

Get in, get in!

No!

LOUD CHEERING

No! Don't believe it!

Nicolas Colsaerts just to keep the match alive.

He has pushed a lot of these putts today to the right.

Otherwise Dustin is going to take the point.

CHEERING

Three and two victors for Dustin Johnson,

the first singles victory coming in the sixth match.

CROWD: USA! USA!

So 11-10 is the match score. Well done, Dustin Johnson.

A terrific week.

Thank goodness. It's one of the four points required.

Look, that is the situation.

What a cracking afternoon it has been. After so much doom and gloom,

yesterday, it has been an absolutely spectacular day's golf

and it is not over yet. Weird things do happen.

From a good spot, Phil Mickelson, an accessible pin on 18 today.

And, oh, no. That is a huge misjudgement.

He has got a magical short game but he's going to need it.

-Come on, Rosie!

-What an opportunity for Justin Rose!

Mickelson has missed the green severely on the right.

Looks a simple enough shot, doesn't it? Not a bad lie.

Straight at it.

One good clean shot and...

Oh, it's a beauty!

APPLAUSE

Jimmy Furyk, putt to win the hole. This match all square as well.

Reliable Jim comes up with the goods again. Look at the crowd.

It is sensational out here.

One up to Jim.

Anxious Captain Love.

Rose with a putt to win the match.

What a moment.

CROWD SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

All the way!

Oh, would you believe it?

Two putts on the 17th and 18th,

absolute masterclass

and Rose beats Mickelson by one hole and it is still alive!

And if you were playing chess, our bishop has just taken their king.

Terrific stuff.

Well done, Justin Rose!

COMMENTATOR LAUGHS

Well, look at our leaderboard here.

Opening five singles all going to Europe.

11-11, the point score. They are great buddies, these two.

-Live just down the road from each other.

-Brilliant, brilliant.

Dictionary brilliant.

Well, fantastic. Opening five matches all going to Europe.

And there is still... well, there is

still a glimmer down below but it's going to be a damn close-run thing.

Well, can those cheers inspire McDowell?

He's 2-down.

CHEERING

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

-SPECTATOR:

-In the hole!

Oh, yes.

CHEERING Oh, yes!

Magnificent!

Peter Hanson on the comeback trail.

This is to win the 14th.

CHEERING

Wonderful. Well done, Peter Hanson.

Just one behind.

It's been a long while looking at this putt.

I think you said it was just outside the right edge.

I'm not sure it is.

CHEERING

Zach Johnson's still got a putt to be made

but that was a real opportunity missed.

I think it was misread.

Garcia with a putt to win here at the 15th to square the match.

No.

APPLAUSE

More work to do yet, I fancy.

Huge swing on that.

Molinari to halve,

halve the 12th. He's one up.

Now he's all square.

CHEERING

It's not all going to come down to Tiger Woods, is it?

Zach Johnson, an important putt.

Oh, and he's holed it!

He's managed to wheedle out a half.

CHEERING

Dufner at the 15th.

Trying to lay it right in the front of the green.

Dangerous.

SPECTATORS SHOUT

He's up for it.

Nice kick forward as well.

Oh, very sweet indeed!

He's played some cracking long woods into greens today.

Bit unlucky it's running way past, but beautiful shot.

Jim Furyk.

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

His second to the 16th.

And a beauty!

One up on Sergio Garcia.

Kuchar, the 14th.

Birdie putt.

Oh, he's done it!

CHEERING

He's done it.

Westwood, this little putt to stay 2-up.

Well done. CHEERING

Dufner after that beautiful tee shot.

Long putt, huge right-to-left borrow, particularly at the end.

When the ball is travelling slowly at the end, it'll go way to the left.

Well, it held up pretty well that time, but still left an awkward one.

Everyone trying to keep track of what's going on.

You do need an abacus.

Now, Peter Hanson.

Way out to the right. It dives left at the end.

Got to keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up,

keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it...

up! Oh, no!

Garcia. Quite a deep bunker,

a little ridge to come up.

He wants to get this running a little bit as it hits the surface.

Not too high.

That's... That's lovely, that's lovely...that's lovely!

Oh, you little beauty!

I thought it had gone in!

Oh-ho-ho!

Sergio...

Graeme McDowell. Second shot to 17.

Mickelson played a beauty.

Just too wide. JUST too wide.

CHEERING

Jim Furyk. This would be...

a crushing birdie.

Oh, Jim! Ooh!

I thought it had gone in. I think Jim thought it had gone in.

-I must say, I thought it had gone in!

-So did I!

I was watching him, not the ball.

A little premature there with his celebrations.

Wrong recipe today, Jim.

Now Zach Johnson. Long putt.

Two putts will get the job done.

CHEERING

SPECTATORS SHOUT

Well, not quite.

CHEERING

I think McDowell will have a putt down the hill.

CHEERING

Conceded. Well, that's quite extraordinary, but there we are.

They were getting worried, you know.

Tiger Woods, a chance to win the 13th.

He's just reached par.

-Oh, Tiger has done it again.

-CHEERING

Not through scintillating golf.

Goes 1-up.

Well, this is as good a day's golf

as I've witnessed for a long time.

It looks just tipped

in America's favour,

but as we keep saying, Ken,

you never really know, do you?

One good shot, one bad shot,

one mistake...

He's put a huge pressure on his opponent. Come on, Lee.

Come on, Lee!

CHEERING DROWNS COMMENTARY

That was a timely one, so he's in for 3.

Kuchar's still got a little five, six-footer for a half.

Now Garcia with this.

Oh, very difficult.

Pace so important.

His opponent is nowhere near him, too.

SPECTATORS SHOUT

Going a bit fast.

But slowing up beautifully.

Super putt from Garcia.

Kuchar. This to save going 3-down with 3 to play.

And he's missed it.

3-up with 3 to play for Lee Westwood.

Guarantees half a point, but he has to get the full point.

Stricker needs this little chip-in to halve the hole.

No, well done, Martin Kaymer.

1-up. Holes running out.

He's been looking at this for a long time.

He thought he'd hold the putt on the last green, but it zipped out.

This to halve the hole and stay 1-up.

SPECTATORS SHOUT

Oh, it was a good try, but match all square.

That was almost a match-winning putt, almost.

So they go up the last.

All square.

Oh, this is unbelievable.

Come on, Sergio.

Tiger Woods. He's only managed one birdie so far today.

That was at the 7th. This is a chance here at the 14th.

United States 1-up.

Oh, thought he had it!

He's just far enough away

from the lip here and a decent lie.

Jim might be able to conjure something up here.

Very lucky.

SPECTATORS SHOUT

-SPECTATOR:

-All right, baby!

Well...

He struck it too well, Ken. Shot out, didn't it?

It's certainly advantage Garcia.

Molinari.

This to square the match.

He's done it!

Well, for a man who is not supposed to be able to putt,

he is working small miracles.

Match all square.

Now, Kaymer has got to be careful here. This is lightning fast.

If it gets down in two he remains 1-up.

Don't take three.

Oh. No.

He's done the very thing I was worried about.

It was very fast down there.

Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

Garcia waits as Furyk lines up his shot from the back of the green

and he decided to putt it.

20... 22 or 23 yards.

-SPECTATOR:

-In the hole!

SPECTATORS SHOUT

It's creeping nearer and nearer and nearer.

Look at that speed up!

Look at that go!

This is to halve the 15th.

I can't tell you the importance of this putt.

Oh, Martin, no!

Oh, the match is all square. Stevie Stricker can't believe it.

Oh, dear.

Sergio Garcia to win the match.

SPECTATORS SHOUT

It's not going to get there.

The match is all square.

You've done your bit, Sergio.

Well, how would you like to be Lee Westwood,

two putts from here to win the match?

Just cosy it up, young sir. Or one will do.

Oh, well, two is certainly OK. That's...

Oh, maybe not. Hard game. It's a hard game, this.

Looking up at our scoreboard, Europe look favourites.

Team mates gathering round. Two years ago, he was the hero, wasn't he?

Remember at Celtic Manor, rolling that putt in down the green?

This to make the scores level at 12.

Well done, Lee!

CHEERING

Well, well, well, the plot does thicken. This is quite extraordinary.

This is pressure.

It doesn't come any tougher than this for Jim Furyk.

If he holes it they halve the match,

but there's a bit more in it than that.

It could cost them the Ryder Cup.

And he's missed it!

He's missed it. Can you believe it? It seemed to turn up the hill.

Garcia wins.

And Europe lead 13-12.

-Well, Kenneth!

-Dear, oh...

Three matches left out on the golf course

and Europe need one more point,

but really need one and a half to win the match.

This is incredible. Sergio can't believe his luck.

How about that?

Doesn't that scoreboard look very happy reading

if you have a leaning towards Europeans?

Dufner looks to be in charge of the match with Han...

But you never know.

He's gone right through the green, that second shot out of the bunker.

Oh, to be able to do this...

I mean, I don't have enough words to...

to thank my partners.

I mean, the way...

The way they've come along and the way they've played today,

it was amazing and... And there was no doubt that...

that Seve was on our side because, I mean, just on my match,

some of the breaks I got today, you don't get them every day.

Peter Hanson to take this match down the 18th. Two putts from here.

Stop, stop. It's not going to give him much now.

I'm not going to give you that one.

Peter Hanson at nine holes was 4-down.

He is now only 1-down, going up the 18th.

A little nearer to the green

than perhaps he would have liked, Molinari. This is awkward.

15th, second shot.

And that is delightfully played.

Just stick there because it keeps drifting.

Whoa... Whoa...

Whoa...

Be interesting to know who's to play first,

but I know which ball I'd rather be.

-Poor old Jim.

-Some say, "Poor old Jim."

KEN CHUCKLES

"It's my fault. It's my fault if we've lost."

Tiger to halve the hole.

This must be dead centre.

And it is.

CHEERING

All square, 3 to play.

Now Kaymer.

Can he redeem himself, taking three from the edge of the last hole

when he wasn't very far away?

This is a must.

And it's there! Well holed, young sir!

Absolutely brilliant.

Enough to make a grown man weep.

A tricky old putt to read, this one, Peter.

Yes, the master putter.

Well, he had that reputation

over the last couple of years,

but are the nerves a little jangly?

-SPECTATOR:

-Go in the hole!

Yes, beautiful putt.

Nerves all in order, the match goes on.

They are level.

Tension. You can feel it.

This for a par,

this to have any chance of getting anything out of this match at all.

It's a handshake and Jason Dufner gets the most valuable point.

-CROWD CHANTS:

-USA! USA! USA!

Well, United States 13, Europe 13.

Two matches out on the course, both all square.

Well done, Jason Dufner. He's been a star this week.

Stricker on the tee at the 17th, match all square.

SPECTATORS SHOUT

Oh, a little bold.

Kaymer.

Oh, he's trying to cut it in. He's drawn it. That go too far.

OK.

Out of the green is OK.

Molinari.

Last match out. All square with Tiger.

Be on the money.

Be on the money.

If it's right, it's good.

Oh, the master iron player.

He really does it.

More premium shots with the irons than anybody in the game today.

Tiger's second shot to the 16th.

Molinari quite close.

Tiger's online, but not hard enough.

Good-looking shot.

Kaymer.

Match all square with Steve Stricker.

Chance of a two.

Through the valley, up the other side.

This is where your nerves get a little ragged.

Stricker.

If you've never seen a delicate little chip, this is it.

I think he topped it.

Certainly didn't mean to rush it by like that.

Here's the main man.

Chance for a birdie at 16.

Last match out. All square with Molinari.

He's been demon on the back nine. He hasn't hit it. Has he?

Oh. Thought it wasn't going to come up the hill.

Just a four.

Eduardo straight in.

Kaymer looks on.

Stricker putting for his par here at the 17th.

He's going uphill.

Kaymer's coming downhill.

Don't fancy either of them.

He's done it.

Oh, he hasn't done it.

Oh.

Two massive putts coming up for the European side.

Molinari's here. This will take him 1-up.

Oh, dear.

Kaymer to win the hole and go 1-up.

Yes, sir.

Don't get too excited.

Well, well. Look at that. Kaymer 1-up.

Molinari all square.

13 points each.

Europe need 40.

They need one more point

to retain the trophy.

They were down and out this morning.

And look at that, you never know.

What a moment for Martin Kaymer.

European team and supporters.

Second shot to the last hole. He's 1-up.

A half here and the trophy goes back to Britain.

Oh, heavy.

Did he get it enough of the ball?

He did. Oh, he certainly did.

Wow!

Suddenly the European supporters have found their voice

and the Americans seem to have gone a little bit dry in the throat.

Oh, it's a tough shot this to the 18.

Narrow putting surface.

Swirling breeze.

This is how the match is projected to finish.

Stricker really needs to make a birdie.

Has he picked the right club?

Oh, three yards too far.

That's a one in 20 chance, if that.

Molinari - this desperately difficult shot.

You get the speed right. Just a little dab.

Steady. Steady. Steady.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

That was a tweaker.

Team-mates gathering round.

Hoping against hope that all will be well.

Still very tense.

Wonderful atmosphere.

It's been great day. Great, great day.

Stricker - this long, long, long putt down the 18th.

He's 1-down.

You really believe this has to find the bottom of the cup.

And it's extremely high tariff.

Spent a lot of time looking at that,

and needed his sat nav.

Martin Kaymer at the 18th has two putts

to retain the Ryder Cup.

Quickly back to the 17th.

Molinari to half with Tiger Woods.

He misses.

He goes 1-down to Tiger Woods.

A better day's golf.
