Full commentary and updates from Gleneagles as Europe and the United States compete for the Ryder Cup

3rd & 7 37yd

Brilliant little chip from McIlroy at 17 leaves him with a tap-in par. That might be enough to see this match down the last all square.

Scorcher from Westwood. Miles down and on the preferred right half of the fairway.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:18:58 PM
Westwood up next (remember - it's alternate tee shots in foursomes, so only one per team).

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:18:30 PM
Furyk staring down his tee shot, but it's fine in the first cut of the rough.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:18:07 PM
Back to the first tee, and Jim Furyk is about to get this afternoon's play underway.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:17:24 PM
And Garcia has hoiked his tee shot into the rough on the short side. Pressure getting to everyone on the 17th.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:17:08 PM
Rory McIlroy has seriously underclubbed at 17. He's about 10 yards short of the green and looks at his caddie as if to say "well, what was that?"

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:16:07 PM
"Come on push, push it left" says Mickelson of his tee shot at 17. No use, the wind can't correct a shot pulled that much and it's plop in a bunker.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:14:01 PM
His swing was all over the place, his putting was terrible, out of sorts doesn't really cover it. It's got to be a big concern for Tom Watson.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:11:56 PM
Do you see Bubba playing any better, or are the wind conditions just too much for him?

by Django Freedman 9/26/2014 12:11:30 PM
Keegan Bradley makes eagle at 16! It's back to all square with two to play!

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:11:00 PM
While people line up eagle putts on the 16th, the first foursomes group is making its way out on to the tee. This is actually my favourite bit in the Ryder Cup - it never stops!

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:10:20 PM
He can't possibly be worse than Hal Sutton, I was at Oakland Hills in '04 and he looked like a kid lost at the supermarket.

by LetsgoUSA! 9/26/2014 12:09:28 PM
Though someone probably should have stepped in early when it was Nick Faldo's turn.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:09:04 PM
I think that would be the first captaincy coup mid-event in Ryder Cup history.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:08:34 PM
Yet the captain thinks its best to keep Phil/Keegan out in the afternoon while sitting Spieth/Reed. The PGA should immediately replace him so that he doesn't screw up tomorrow.

by John 9/26/2014 12:08:13 PM
Schtoinked. I like it. That's a keeper.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:07:40 PM
that schtoinked par putt by Phil is looming large right about now...

by LetsgoUSA! 9/26/2014 12:07:28 PM
Phil/Keegan were 2 up but have squandered their lead with 3 bogeys -- which is basically inexcusable in best ball

by Bob Harig via twitter 9/26/2014 12:06:43 PM
Rory McIlroy smokes one into the 16th green. He'll have a birdie putt for what could be a dormie 2 lead.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:05:37 PM
The giant scoreboard here in the Gleneagles media centre does not make pretty reading for Kaymer and Bjorn: A sea of blue from 1 to 17, then a bleak grey box signalling all-square. Oof.

by Alex Perry 9/26/2014 12:05:13 PM
I know, I know. Amended. Thank you.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:04:40 PM
Walker/Reed?

by Anjuma 9/26/2014 12:04:29 PM
Martin Kaymer isn't impressed with letting it slip either:

I had a couple of chances at 17 and 18 to close it and it's obviously disappointing not to make those putts.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:02:29 PM
Thomas Bjorn is pretty disappointed with that halve with Walker/Fowler:

There's a sense of disappointment when you're two up with three to play. We just ran out of putts in the end. It was a pretty even match and we've got to take it on the chin. We played good early on, maybe not so good in the middle. A halve is always good, even if we did lead all the way.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:02:01 PM
All of which means the final match on the course will decide which team goes into the lead this afternoon, or if it will be level pegging.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 12:00:19 PM
Walker puts it in my face

by Scott Lenner 9/26/2014 11:59:41 AM
Whew. You can stay, Steven.

by Chris 9/26/2014 11:59:26 AM
Jimmy Walker, gut check passed. It's a halve in Match 2, and the score sits at 1.5-1.5

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:59:18 AM
And he's drained it!

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:58:51 AM
It's about five feet, maybe less.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:58:37 AM
Kaymer drags his putt harmlessly wide. Which means Walker has a putt for the win and a halve in a match they've absolutely clung on to. It would be a heck of a halve, actually.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:58:09 AM
Not my words - the words of Phil Mickelson. If you know you've got another 18 to play in the afternoon, you're going to try and conserve energy, but certainly not a case of not trying.

by Alex Perry 9/26/2014 11:57:23 AM
Bjorn rolls his putt at 18 up to the hole. That makes sure of the halve so long as Walker doesn't hole his birdie putt. And Kaymer is next to putt with success meaning the end of the match.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:57:18 AM
Ur two sense.... explain how you would pace yourself during the ryder cup. So if you're playing in the afternoon does that mean u dont try on a couple shots in morning....really!!!!

by thdream 9/26/2014 11:56:46 AM
America, I'm sorry. I jinxed Phil. He missed.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:55:50 AM
Fowler tries again at 18, and fires it past the hole. The remainder of that group all have birdie putts.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:55:37 AM
Garcia can't hole out on 15, which leaves Mickelson with a short putt for par and a halve. We've seen Phil miss plenty of these ones before, mind you.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:54:37 AM
At 18, Rickie Fowler is trying to find his way on to the putting surface from down in a greenside hollow - it's rolling back towards him. That match looks like it will stay blue and put Europe 2-1 ahead.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:54:13 AM
McIlroy lags his putt horribly at 15, which means Garcia will have one for the hole and a one-hole lead with three to play.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:53:24 AM
That would make sense for the Mickelson pairing again this time away. Now we just upset the beast in Poulter.

by RyderDie 9/26/2014 11:51:33 AM
Brilliant putt from Mickelson! Lips out on 15 from the edge of the green, a putt of about 40 feet. Sensational effort.

by Steven Saunders 9/26/2014 11:51:20 AM
Hello, from blustery Gleneagles, by the way. The Ryder Cup team here currently trying to entice Mr Poulter into the interview room here in the media centre. Watch this space...

by Alex Perry 9/26/2014 11:51:00 AM
I like the Mahan/Johnson pairing... I have a feeling they'll be sneaky good.

by Geoff Okpych 9/26/2014 11:50:41 AM
My two cents on leaving Spieth and Reed out: Could be a similar situation to when Mickelson and Bradley sat out of the Saturday afternoon in 2012, despite having won 3 from 3 previously. Mickelson said this week they knew beforehand they weren't going to play that afternoon, so threw everything they had into the morning (which they won 7&6 over Westwood and Donald). Imagine Watson told them to just go out all guns blazing, knowing they would get a rest.
