Justin Thomas hasn’t brought his best stuff this week … but he did make a couple of big putts yesterday, while also doing his best to conduct the crowd. And that’s not nothing. Back on the 1st tee, he welcomes Tommy Fleetwood in a friendly manner – the pair were kind of bystanders when Justin Rose and Bryson DeChambeau engaged in philosophical debate yesterday – before they take turns to crack their opening tee shots into the right-hand rough. That position didn’t do Cameron Young any harm.

The USA need a fast start … and they get one, Cameron Young walking in a gentle left-to-right uphill slider from 25 feet! The crowd don’t need much to get them going … but by heck, that’s got them going! Over to Justin Rose, whose effort is always staying out on the high side. The hosts hit the lead in short order!
