"There's no stopping that man Cameron Young, who is already staking his claim to be the player of the tournament, he's been that good. He chips in from the fringe to the side of the par-three 3rd, and the USA have another splash of red on the board. Not a surprise to see Michael Jordan there, begins Phil Crockford. He is a very keen golfer, and once got banned from a golf course because he was wearing the wrong type of shorts."
"McIlroy nearly holes that next shot! He's not got much green to work with, but pops his chip onto the fringe, then rolls it out, straight towards the flag. Or straight until it's last couple of turns, anyway, when it drifts a couple of millimetres to the left, enough for it to horseshoe out. And the pain doubles for Rory as English steers in his gentle left-to-right slider for birdie. The first splash of colour on today's board is US red!"
"The third match takes to the 1st tee. Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton. Yay, yay, boo, boo, you know who cops for what. Rahm takes Europe's first shot, and like Aberg earlier, sends it towards the trees down the right. Schauffele follows him there. Not an ideal start for either pairing. 1UP DeChambeau/Young v Fitzpatrick/Aberg (3) 1UP English/Morikawa v McIlroy/Fleetwood (1) Schauffele/Cantlay v Rahm/Hatton"
Four players — Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton — begin the third match at the first tee, with Rahm and Schauffele both sending drives toward the trees. Cameron Young chips in from the fringe at the par-three third, securing another point for the USA and bolstering his tournament credentials. Michael Jordan is noted in the crowd as a keen golfer with a humorous anecdote about being banned for shorts. Rory McIlroy nearly holes a chip but misses, while Paul English converts a birdie, and Morikawa has an opportunity after a solid wedge.
