The mist rises off the lake as Lee Westwood putts on the 13th green but the ball doesn't have enough legs on it and a chance is missed to go 2 up Photograph: Tom Jenkins

and then he digs up some of the 15th as he chips onto the green Photograph: Tom Jenkins

There's quite a few people behind Ian Poulter willing his chip onto the 15th green Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Monty has his serious captainy face on as he watches the Westwood foursomes on the 16th green Photograph: Tom Jenkins

...not for long he hasn't, as a Darren Clarke joke comes over the radio to lighten the mood Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Young Rickie Fowler tees off on the 17th during his foursomes Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Do I not like that! Monty comes over all Graham Taylor as he watches Rickie Fowler pick his ball from the cup at the 17th Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Who said that? Can you see who said we look ridiculous? Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Lee Westwood stares accusingly at photographers after he missed a putt on the 18th green in his foursomes. He lost the hole and halved the match Photograph: Tom Jenkins

No wonder Cink is so happy, he's just holed a huge birdie putt on the 17th which means McIlroy has to sink his eight footer to halve the hole... Photograph: Tom Jenkins

...Graeme McDowell helps Rory line it up. Rory doesn't look too confident and which might be why he rushes the putt and pulls it to the left of the hole. The USA take the hole and go one up Photograph: Tom Jenkins

After his easy miss on the 17th, things don't get any better for Rory on the 18th when he ends up in a bunker instead of on the green. McDowell's bunker shot goes through the green which gives the Americans two putts for the match, which they take Photograph: Tom Jenkins/Tom Jenkins

Padraig Harrington plays from the bunker by the 2nd green in the four-balls. Unfortunately his erratic form continues and he thins the shot and ends up in another bunker on the other side of the green Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Padraig Harrington lines up a putt for his partner Ross Fisher on the 3rd in the fourballs. Fisher steps up to the mark in both senses and sinks the 25 footer with the ball doing a 360 degree spin around the cup as it goes in for a birdie. That puts them one up Photograph: Tom Jenkins

It's difficult to work out if these US fans are laying down drinking or are laying down because they've been drinking Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Dustin Johnson and Jim Furyk line up a putt on the 3rd Photograph: Tom Jenkins

On the 4th in the fourballs Ross Fisher holes a long left to right putt to birdie, so it's no wonder he's celebrating and that puts them one up Photograph: Tom Jenkins

The Molinari brothers' fan club look out for their heroes as they come down the fairway Photograph: Tom Jenkins

There's joy on the 1st during the fourballs when Matt Kuchar sinks a 35 footer to win the hole so he and Stewart Cink tap knuckles and putters in celebration Photograph: Tom Jenkins

Not all the visitors to Celtic Manor are interested in the golf. But for those that are, and the millions that are watching and listening to the coverage, Europe go into the 3rd day in a healthy position - though they are 6-4 down, they are ahead in all six of the unfinished matches and hope to take that advantage into sunday's 12 singles Photograph: Tom Jenkins
