8 1/2 plays 3 1/2 today.

Just one win from 12 singles - wow

[Buzzo]

It was a free hit for the USA and by rankings they are better player for player than us. The first games were crucial and it looked like our lads were emotionally spent. Just need Hatton to get a draw to win it.

The Irish have a lot of history in the Ryder Cup….. hence never in doubt

Not getting any early points brought the crowd and momentum into it. It definitely looked dicey for a while.

[Buzzo]

A lot of mutual respect floating about which is nice after all the toxicity.

Similar dad dancing/celebrating in the LR kitchen tonight. Rough night and even rougher morning ahead of us.

[Norbs]

1 win from 11 singles is wild though.

Same as Palace against us at home

Nick Faldo is hilarious

Rory moves to -5, joint lead

Rory flying -8 after 3 birdies in the first 4 holes.

There’s a really good doc on Prime about Rory’s win last year and his history with Augusta.

I have Rory, Reed, Lowry and Fleetwood backed….. it’s actually playing hard and nobody is pulling away

Reed has been flying in the Middle East recently, won a couple and playing v well

Rory on a charge. What a chip after finding trees off the tee on the 17th.

Some round from Rory.

Bryson missed the cut!

[Irishnev]

I don’t know if it’s “freedom” because he’s been in similar positions before but that was v impressive. Birdied 6 of the last 7 and I think he left a few out there due to poor wedge play. Biggest half way lead - let’s see how his head stays in the game

Only Niklaus, Tiger and Faldo have gone back to back

Freddie Couples has been saying that Rory could win the next 4 or 5 as he's playing so stress free now.

The thing is the scorecard is impressive, as is the 6 shot lead but he was, unbelievably, woeful off the tee. His short game was ridiculous. The fact he is 6 shots clear and could actually be playing better must be a bit concerning for the rest of the field.
