The third match begins like the other two: Team USA sending their opening tee shot into the deep rough down the right, Europe finding the short stuff. The visitors could do with hitting some fairways here, because the rough at Marco Simone is punitive to say the least.
There’s more muscling going on up on 2. JT does extremely well to find the fringe after Jordan Spieth’s drive ends up in the second cut down the left. Spieth makes up for his mistake by lagging close to secure par. All good, on a difficult hole … except Tommy Fleetwood, whose putter took some time to warm up yesterday, drains a straight 35-footer for birdie. Meanwhile back on 1, Brooks Koepka rolls America’s long par putt to four feet, only for Scottie Scheffler to pull the bogey putt wide left. The USA really wanted a fast start today. They haven’t had one.
