Justin Thomas & Jordan Spieth vs Ian Poulter & Rory McIlroy | Extended Highlights | 2018 Ryder Cup

Jordan SP and Justin Thomas two wins and four balls together but they did lose heavily to Molinari and Fleetwood yesterday afternoon in forams well I think this is a lot of club for Jordan SP off the first I heard him just say to his Cy that the winds mainly off the left but we can see the big flags up on the top of the grand stand suggesting that there's definitely some help there that's okay though far enough right to be away from the water on the tea [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Europe and then the Islands Falls it's almost as if it's orchestrated isn't it get in the got referee for this match is Simon pgen well he's dry this time Matt you'd be very tempted to stand on that first te and make 40 practice F wouldn't you and just see how long they keep going for yeah it would be funny but I don't think it' last long until they started shouting at you just to get on with it gory back to the first middle of the [Music] Fairway right that's okay it's not great when it's [Applause] [Applause] uphill just hoisting the second shot high up in the air oh it's a deep Miss that's very short sided there for the Americans Rory wasn't that happy about seeing his ball go pin High left but I think he'll he'll be happy with the result of his ball now yeah that is just [Applause] horrible pter just to win the hall this won't be aggressive I can assure you of that it's lovely speed it's lovely speed okay it's America 15 ft maybe 18 ft for the half at the first in the final group first green Thomas for the half just a bit perm Europe win the first and the final fors of the of the rer cup [Applause] oh Mel right see if you can get it right lovely swing great Rhythm he's liking the line yeah Hallelujah I think that's only the second ball of the fors on the Green okay it's pulled and long but it's tough part there poor one there from Justin good 30 ft that's a bit firm on that line this is going four five ft past a great chance [Applause] here hter just probably 12 ft over lady W up slightly downhill looking at the green book Hope's got good eyesight they're very small arrows in that book very hard to see the lines but he'd love to pop this one in it would be a huge advantage to be two up and the crowds around this second green though the other matches have gone ahead nobody has left 340 deep here [Applause] well a real tester for Thomas on this first hus this is a good 4 feet a little bit slick down the hill too much Pace to take the borrow there would have been a bit of break there right to left but he pounded it you see from this camera angle he's not that couple of feet past very quick start for Ian poter and Rory [Music] mroy the wind is going to be helping the shot and you see 268 to the pin so it's probably putting justtin Thomas right in between clubs here very soft three wood or an absolute belt with the rescue wood or the utility club that he would carry so you see him aiming a long way left he'll be trying to take some off the three-wood I guess yep big high cut and this could be really good oh wow SI W maybe deserved a bit better than that Tony cuz that was a tremendous golf shot wasn't it exactly yeah tremendous shot I'd imagine he'll play there shot in with some left to right on it Tony but maybe not quite as much as we just saw from Justin yeah he's also set up a long way left hasn't he similar setup line Justin Thomas Trace uh what do you think Miles right too much movement left to right on it take a nice amount of sand and let it just trundle its way up to that that pin it's a nice distance buker shot too Sam as well oh it's a honey this one Johnson You' have been lipping out or going in here nine times out of 10 as I said I think you would be fencing yourself to H Sam and he's on a freshly R area so there's no grooves there's no rake grooves it's dead flat yeah I think you would quite fancy yourself [Applause] here just got too much sand with it [Applause] now tricky chip down here Jordan he is magnificent this so that's Stone dead that's a birdie and Rory's left is probably eight ft for the [Applause] half pter stalking around in the background head down he knows could have done better should could have done better it'll make no difference if Rory manages to hold this which he does you see there he's looking at the crowd and I could lit read there saying who can't pop who can't pop me must be joking obviously some smart elic behind the ropes there don't need that don't need that for either team actually it's a gentleman's game of we like sportsmanship let's have a look again let's just watch Roy the ball goes in who can't to who can't to H talk H top come on I mean this is so far right I mean that is that's right to the Mounds and we saw that in the final round last week the two championships I mean I don't know where that comes from because the swing looks all right maybe he drops a little inside but that is absolutely off the planet you ever seen anybody over there before Matt the other side of those Mounds don't think I have no well so Justin Thomas we have not much to follow really with Rory going that side but we know that there is some really strong rough both sides so he'll be full focused this isn't going to hit the Fairway is it or is it going to just get inside the bunker no in that leftand bunker I think we need to find michco Rise by ball I think we've got enough people to to send a decent search Party come with the provision provisional ball back on the tea of Ian poter I think there's an ongoing search for Rory mckoy's drive that was way right and also by hitting a provision that gives him another two or 3 minutes to find it before they get up there okay back to 40 poter trying to emulate the provisional ball it's a little further right same flight but will it catch the Fairway no oh maybe maybe nearly great bounce and the pins cut on the left hand side as well Tony so not too bad hitting it in the right hand semi it'll open the flag right up for Rory well you'd have to think this has got to go in for polter and Rory maroy on the fourth they're having a bit of a struggle it's a beautifully played shot and they still got four five ft left there for double bogey six here's the Chip Shot of Jordan SP just try and blood it onto the green let it shle down to the hole looks like he's played a gorgeous Chip Shot here steady steady well they'll definitely be made to put that if uh Rory maroy can pop the PT that Ian P's left him in for the six must be for Micha right much break well that'll be finished yeah now come on Rory couple of mistakes on the last lost ball virtually on playable it was I to go back to the team then put it in the bunker there were two up and went back to one up i p just put them right in the middle of the Fairway just a nice quarter shot shoulder to shoulder come on right inches away again short sided himself with the fourth and the last open in the bunker he spins the ball so much Rory and that's why he's always struggled in windy conditions the pin location was a very tough one to get closer in we haven't seen anybody that close in two maybe Justin Thomas can be first man to prove me wrong this is the final game so he's the last man to prove me with the chance to prove me wrong as well oh that's about as good as we've seen you flirt any closer to that front left [Applause] flag deadly silent as Jordan spiff gets over this P looks a perfect space it's perfect from Jordan SP the Europeans will have a chance of a chip shot to half the hole but that's just what team America needed beautiful cut from from Jordan [Applause] SP awkward stance here foran poter laying the club face open and he now knows that this has to go in to half the hole [Applause] win the ho in three the match is all [Applause] square Jordan be playing the second shot for the Americans out of the right hand side rough on the sixth you got a chance Mikey well I don't think he's got too much chance oh I think he got caught up in that get over oh it's on the first cut JT know where he [Applause] ister second just off the front come de slight Advantage but it should a huge advantage M up the sixth green you can see the American ball on the left side there just off the green important to get down in two here for M steady it's a bit [Music] [Applause] racy JT Justin Thomas six [Applause] lovely [Music] touch I think if I hit a 220 yard shot I can't go wrong 207 229 right here at the wind yeah I play pretty straight a little left to right yeah lovely insight there into the shop 27 seven yards but with a win there the cad saying that a two a normal 220 yard shot should be about the right distance and discuss where the win [Music] was wouldn't have removed it he was pleased with it when he hit it but not perfect now Rory come on he's not been in all cylinders all year but he's still one of the best players in the world take an absolute day to [Music] him that's it lost in the opening day but two wins since for RoR [Applause] mararo long birdie put to win the hole foran poter he going to miss to the low side and that one won't be conceded either wow never lost two in a row and he lost this morning excellent from Thom Thomas maroy left three ft for the half they one down [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] back up on the E A lot of movement Behind the Green where the gaming front's moving up to the to the night oh another man missing the grain down to the left it's a common spot what a [Music] kick meloy with a t-shot for Europe hold your line is saying a touch left yeah was 10 times a better shot it's finished up 10 times worse but [Applause] aggressive chip there very nicely I don't think you'll need your [Applause] Putter and Rory that's another P sliit by [Applause] yeah never a doubt there for Justin Thomas so him and Jordan spe go two up after eight holes they've got it hot the Americans winning holes four five six and [Applause] eight got a nine Thomas second up to the par [Applause] five started well right come off the down slop should be fine it's not bad at all well we were told that the Europeans had laid up for their second shot of the ninth we weren't aware that they laid it up into this position in the left hand side rough difficult shot foran poter no success there foran full shot now on the power five for Rory mroy we've seen a good few shots from this front bunker and the closest one was still six or seven feet from the hole so Rory and Ian poter really up against it here on the ninth it's like 34 on so it's a what 40 yard bunker shot [Music] oh Spectacular from Rory ma perfect strike from the bunker well it puts some pressure on the Americans but they pin hard just off The Greening two and they've caught on a short game exhibition so far this rer cup Jordan SP and Justin Thomas beautiful ball striking from J space probably 3 ft for the Americans so no give me well done here well done oh wow I didn't expect that let off for the Europeans that could be a big turning point in that match in the whole event now they found the ball of Justin Thomas t- shot Jordan SP looks very buried in the rough way right no chance of reaching the green I don't [Applause] think maybe did have the distance to reach the green but he couldn't have put this in a worse position for his partner [Applause] [Music] he and poter hitting the second shot for the European team here at the 10th after seeing Jordan spe come out to the right I wouldn't be surprised to see Ian polter just play a nice sensible shot just to about [Applause] there fabulous shot Justin Thomas it's not an easy shot it's not an easy shot it's a very easy shot for [Applause] him the ball of the Americans has been conceded for a four so that leaves Rory maroy with his put to win the hole come on on not to be for Rory so Rory and Ian poter will remain two down through 10 holes us as we go to the 11th T Jordan SP 164 yards look at the fast Banks of Spectators all the way up the left hand side of round L they another very good t- shot from SP I poter spe not especially close so chance perhaps to take the inititive but quter two of the Europeans two will have a long part up the hill good try good [Music] try could be a huge putt this for the Americans just to go three up looking good yes and once again it's Justin Thomas [Applause] momentum back with the USA three up in both the matches in which they [Music] lead okay wind down and off the right which makes quite difficult for that back right pin but he's he's chunked [Applause] that it's a better angle for spe and it's a very good opportunity to put a bit more Europeans this is not an easy two cut got quite a shoulder cutting into the green off that right Fringe almost going to he going to have to flirt with The Fringe and then to get the pace right is also very difficult [Applause] [Music] [Applause] poter for the half of 12 he's H so many good Cuts today and he's done it again I'll tell you what I don't know what the rder cup does to him but it's something [Applause] special pter at 13 another niely judged shot spe to win the hole and go four up dead center beautiful play well done USA Europe were two up after three holes but since then the US have had control and they I move four up with five to play looking good for the USA in the Bott match and indeed in the second match and maybe of the four only that top match is now in serious doubt this is American's third shot at 14 we're about 20 ft and two that quite a wild swing but you had to hit it that hard as what a shot it's just an amazing golf shot out of the cabbage on the UPS slope I mean he's not exactly schwarzeneger and just a brilliant golf [Applause] shot Michael Roy to win at 14 to try toong the match as long as [Applause] possible yeah just too Pacey you look from his angle that's actually finished left of the hole too much [Applause] speed P the for he's got another one oh yes that's some forgg from where they were three birdies the last four holes it looks like Smith and Thomas are going to deliver a point for the US the session will be tied to all and Europe's lead will be four points going into the final day singles spe 15 one four of them you like to time for the Pig turns away beautiful [Music] drive I like that like that [Music] come on [Applause] [Music] Rory brilliant 150 shot got off to PO starts spe and Thomas up boy bogy dirty bog great stuff after that two great young ambassadors for our [Music] sport be the right distance Jimmy Johnson loves [Applause] it little exhibition there mini exhibition of great iron play this is such a strong American partnership and is likely to be for many years to come well a must make P for pter if it doesn't go in the day's golf is over if it goes in we've got more excitement coming just off the right Edge incredible he is incredible hey that may be to no Veil but it's still pretty impressive isn't it to win the match then Jordan SP yes well done Jordan he gives it the pter breast beat and they've taken down two of the big Europeans as well polter and maroy beaten four and three big win for Thomas and SP and an important point for the US the afternoon session haved two matches each and Europe will lead 106 going into the singles tomorrow what a wonderful days golfer has been Europe winning the four
