Live updates from...

MCILROY/FLEETWOOD 1UP
Harris English's putt slides by and McIlroy converts from 4ft.
Fleetwood-Mac 1up.
STUNNING FROM FLEETWOOD
From a tricky lie on the 1st, he chips it over the bunker and it runs up to 3ft. McIlroy should easily convert that, meaning Harris English will have to hole his 10-footer from the fringe.
SOLHEIM CUP CAPTAINS IN THE HOUSE
SCHEFFLER WITH A GOOD LOOK FOR BIRDIE ON 2
The World No.1 has 8ft for birdie on the 2nd to get the US back to all-square and he rolls it in dead-center.

THE ROUGH REALLY IS REMARKABLE
Justin Thomas has just missed the fairway right on the 4th and it's hard to tell if he's found the fairway or not. He hasn't, but the lie is so good that there really doesn't seem to be much penalty for wayward drives.
GREAT PUTT FROM BRYSON AT 3
DeChambeau holes from 7ft on the 3rd after the Europeans easily got it up-and-down. A great save.
MATCH 3 UP NEXT MORIKAWA/ENGLISH vs MCILROY/FLEETWOOD
Rory McIlroy up first for Europe, bombing a drive up the right to leave a short chip on from the rough.
Harris English finds the fairway, much further back and to the left.
'IS THIS A LIBRARY?'
Great chant from the European fans at the 1st tee during a rare quiet moment. Shane Lowry is loving it, laughing and clapping along.
DECHAMBEAU'S WEDGE INTO 2 FROM EARLIER...
Look at that spin.
So pure. #GoUSA pic.twitter.com/bSXHRykQwRSeptember 26, 2025
I MISS THE ROLEX HOUR
We're seeing a lot of commercial breaks here on the broadcast which is a shame.
BRYSON LEFT ON 3
DeChambeau misses the green on the 212 yard par-3 3rd, pulling his 6-iron left into the bunker.
Rahm follows him in there! Poor from the Spaniard with the door open.
EUROPE 1UP IN GAME TWO
Aberg slots home from 4ft after Fitzpatrick's stunning wedge shot in.
SURPRISINGLY POOR FROM SCHEFFLER
The World No.1's wedge shot into the 1st comes up a good 40ft shot. Surprising!
Tyrrell Hatton has missed his birdie chance at the 2nd, also as Justin Thomas' birdie chance slides by on the left side. Europe got away with one there.
Back to the 1st and Matt Fitzpatrick wedges it tight to leave around 4ft for birdie.
FITZ AND LUDVIG GO 1 UP 💪#TeamEurope | #OurTimeOurPlace pic.twitter.com/G0OkXJ8uYnSeptember 26, 2025
THESE GREENS ARE SPINNY
After all the rain it comes as no surprise but wow, we just saw a combined 70ft of backspin on the 2nd green I'd guess.
DECHAMBEAU INTO 2
Bryson has hit a beauty of a wedge into the 2nd from the middle of the fairway that rips back a good 20-25ft to leave Thomas with a 10-footer for birdie.
Jon Rahm up next from 101 yards and his spins back a good 40-feet. Outside birdie look for the Europeans.
MATCH 2
Ludvig Aberg finds the fairway for Europe as Russell Henley pulls his drive down the left. There's barely any rough and soft greens - and his partner is Scottie Scheffler - so no worries there.
BRYSON'S OPENING BIRDIE
Just like we drew it up. #GoUSA pic.twitter.com/yk1OQFhJ5XSeptember 26, 2025
USA 1UP
Bryson DeChambeau holes from around 12ft to put the USA 1up after Jon Rahm's putt came up just short.
DECHAMBEAU'S OPENING DRIVE
A stunning opening drive from Bryson DeChambeau! pic.twitter.com/b3NkzBDn4BSeptember 26, 2025
POOR FROM THOMAS
His chip shot comes up well short to leave DeChambeau around 15ft in.
EUROPE FIRST TO PLAY SECOND SHOTS ON 1
Tyrrell Hatton, from the right rough, pitches it up to around 20ft. Not great but he did have a fairly heavy lie, a bunker to go over and lots of US fans jeering him.
Thomas is in great shape just shy of the green after a phenomenal drive from DeChambeau.
INCREDIBLE WALK TO THE 1ST TEE
Here we go, boys. #GoUSA pic.twitter.com/DOqJbEXquhSeptember 26, 2025
THOMAS AND DECHAMBEAU'S ENTRANCE
KEEGAN BRADLEY ON DECHAMBEAU:
"Did you see what he just did? That's why we have him there," Keegan Bradley says of Bryson DeChambeau.
WE ARE UNDERWAY!
Incredible scenes.
Jon Rahm hits the opening tee shot and looks to have found the rough well down the right.
Bryson DeChambeau steps up for USA and unleashes a drive towards the green. It's a beauty that finishes just short of the putting surface.
STUNNING SCENES
GORGEOUS MORNING AT BETHPAGE
The sun is shining and we're almost ready to go!
'A HUGE CHALLENGE'
Paul McGinley admits the Europeans have a "huge challenge" ahead with eight of the last nine Ryder Cups going to the home side.
INCREDIBLE ATMOSPHERE - 15 MINUTES TO GO!
NIALL HORAN IN THE HOUSE
MORE AWAY FANS THAN LAST TIME
Remember the 2021 Ryder Cup? It was delayed a year due to Covid-19 but it still meant that there were very few European fans on-site to support their side.
Don't get me wrong, it is still going to be a tough atmosphere for Luke Donald's side but there are a good amount of European fans at Bethpage to cheer on the away side.
THE SUN HAS RISEN
We finally have some light at Bethpage with just 15 minutes remaining before the 2025 Ryder Cup officially begins.
2-2 DRAW
Paul McGinley says he'd be happy with a 2-2 draw from the opening session and calls Donald's decision to put McIlroy and Fleetwood out in the third match as smart strategy.
1ST TEE FULL
What an atmosphere we're going to see when the 1st tee shots are struck!
40 MINUTES TO GO
The sun is just starting to rise in New York as we watch Russell Henley work on his putting in the dark.
RYDER CUP AWAY WINS
Can Europe pull off the first away win in the Ryder Cup since 2012?

FOURSOMES VS FOUR-BALL: WHAT TO KNOW
Foursomes: One ball between each pair, alternate shot
Foursomes: One player tees off odd-numbered holes, one goes off even-numbered holes
Foursomes: Quicker format as only two balls in play
Four-balls: Each player plays their own ball, best score on each team counts

JUST OVER AN HOUR AWAY
The first tee shot will be struck at 7.10am ET - so we're just over an hour away now.
I believe the away side tee off first so it will either be Tyrrell Hatton or Jon Rahm to lead us off.
