I was gonna go with Scott Verplank, but Pate is a fine guess.

The hole in for eagle required some luck, but the 33 ft putt for eagle was sheer stones.

Play like that is why I watch. Don't really care who wins, just want to see amazing golf under pressure. And it's all pressure.

Hovland's putt and Rahm's putt on 18 added a bonus point to Europe. Everything fans have seen over past 25-30 years at Ryder Cups. Europe makes putts and US doesn't.

And Max Homa proves your point.

The 18th is proving to be the US's Waterloo.

Morning session, Fitzpatrick and 18th hole are all Waterloos. Europe snaked 1.5 point on last hole.

Clark completely spit the bit on 18.

That was a rough watch. Sleeping in tomorrow morning, no reason to wake up early again. First time time the US didnt win a single match for the day. Unreal.

If Europe goes 8-0 tomorrow to close it out, you'll have missed an amazing bit of sports history.

My brother bet on Europe at the new XL Center Sportsbook!
Given the US hasn't won in Europe in a generation and a half, even before today that bet had less risk than betting UConn football to cover vs Tennessee.

Utter embarrassment. Were the U.S. players not allowed to practice the last 3 holes?!? Europeans playing like this means something, while Americans use this as a family vacation. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a record margin of victory.

It was breaking late hard in favor of Europe and I heard on the radio some of the books actually flipped to Europe. I made no effort to fact check what I heard on the radio.

All that matters is that his ticket says "Europe +125".

Fitzpatrick first 5 holes I saw he made 73 feet of putts all one putts 4 birds and an eagle. Pretty tough to beat that!!

I played Green Mountain National I’m Killlington VT and missed most of the afternoon rounds thank God.

Leading off JT-Spieth in the alternate shot? Wow hope it works but Spieth couldn’t hit it straight yesterday.

Spieth is clueless on the course not sure what gummies Zach took before thinking of leading him off this morning in a crucial match. And Sheffler Koepka 5 over after 3 holes put them in huge trouble. Starting to look like they should just shake hands end of todays rounds and grab an early flight the hell outta there!

Seems there's a non-zero chance this thing could be over today.

If that happens, I'm expecting the Euros to employ hair of the dog to get thru Sunday's matches, which would be extremely entertaining.

My thought was it couldn’t be worse than yesterday. I was wrong again.
Well, they got a full point in one match. And they ensured Europe doesn't close out today.
