That’s it for today. Thanks to everyone who messaged – it was a lot of fun. Please join Scott for the singles from around 5pm on Sunday afternoon. You’ll be in hands as safe as Luke Donald’s – well, nearly as safe …Bryan Armen Grahamat from Bethpage Black: “No World No 1 had ever started a Ryder Cup by losing three straight matches. Scottie cheffler went one worse.”You think Tommy Fleetwood has had a good week? It’s this good: he’s the first visiting player to win all of the first four matches on U.S. soil since Europe joined the Ryder Cup in 1979.By the way, he’s just been seen first having fun with his son Frankie and some stuffed toys, and then having fun stroking a dog. He’s living his best life in all sorts of ways.Jonathan Gresty likes an irony this week. He emails that in the week that the US President, “said Europe is ‘going to hell’, there is immense poetry and joy in seeing the Americans getting completely humiliated - on their own blessed turf - by the wisdom and craft of the Old Continent.” It does need to be polished off, though. If it all falls apart, the irony will be anything but.Andy Bull on a remarkable incident earlier today regarding an MC on the first tee. It was very strange.European fans are lapping this up. Colin Livingstone references and rewrites the famous sign on the Bathpage Black first tee: “The Black course is an extremely difficult course. Which we only recommend for European golfers.”The European fans at Bethpage are dancing with outrageous glee. Simon MacMahon is with them in spirit: “I’m not quite calling it yet, but amongst all the European golfing brilliance on display so far this weekend, a mention too for their captain Luke Donald and his vice captains Jose-Maria Olazabal, Thomas Bjorn, Alex Noren, and Edoardo and Francesco Molinari. It really is a team effort. And now it’s all kicking off! Gotta LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ryder Cup.”Joe Pearson isn’t happy that I used Patrick Cantlay’s nickname – well, one of them: “As anyone who watches a lot of golf, Cantlay’s nickname is All-Day, because he plays so slow. Ice Man? No”Day 2 scoreline: USA 4½-11½ EuropeLuke Donald on a remarkable week so far: “I didn’t really imagine this. The job is not done yet, though. But to hear the ‘Ole’s’ from our fans is very fun. Every time the Americans came at us, we came back at them. The confidence these guys have in themselves and in each other is wonderful. We’re trying to get to 14 and a half points first. We won’t be complacent.”“The lights have gone out on Broadway,” says Nick Faldo.USA 4½-11½ EuropePatrick Cantlay goes all out to make his chip and can’t do it. Next up, Sam Burns from 25 feet. Good effort but the Euro putts were conceded. They’ve won with sparkling approach play. Tyrrell Hatton and Matt Fitzpatrick beat Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay 1UP.Burns/Cantlay lose to Hatton/Fitzpatrick 1UP (F)USA 4½-11½ EuropeJJ Spaun on his match: “I leaned on my partner for wisdom and guidance.” Xander Schauffele on the Europeans: “They’re playing unbelievable golf. They’re making a lot of birdies and we’re not.”And then there was one (match). Europe won’t want to fritter away two points. Matt Fitzpatrick is in sand, just like when he won the US Open – and he does much, much better than even that blow – he’s left himself a tap-in! And Tyrrell Hatton has nudged up against it. Literally! “Billiards,” giggles Nick Faldo, adding: “Jeepers!”Burns can only find the middle of the green and Cantlay’s hard spinning approach rips back off the front of the putting surface. Advantage Europe.USA 4½-10½ EuropeThe Americans led after only one hole in the third match. But it was the right hole: the 18th. JJ Spaun and Xander Schauffele beat Jon Rahm and Sepp Straka 1UP.Spaun/Schauffele beat Rahm/Straka 1UP (F)
