Ryder Cup Day 2 - LIVE!
Europe had a mountain to climb heading into Saturday’s fourballs as they trailed the USA 9-3 after three chastening sessions.
They have a six-point gap to overcome in Sunday’s singles after sharing the four balls 2-2.
A fired-up Shane Lowry led Europe to a crucial point, keeping his nerve to halve the 18th with one of the shots of the day. World number one Jon Rahm produced yet another inspired performance to lead Europe’s crack Spanish pairing to another vital point alongside Sergio Garcia.
Rahm won three of the opening four holes and then nullified a stunning tee shot from Jordan Spieth at the seventh by taking another with a brilliant long putt.
In slumping to his third defeat of the week, however, Rory McIlroy looked particularly out of sorts.
USA need just three and a half points from Sunday’s play to win the Ryder Cup.
