Garcia & McIlroy vs Koepka & Finau (A/S)

Koepka hits a brilliant tee-shot over the water on the par-3 second. McIlroy finds the centre to rescue Garcia who's wet.

Casey & Hatton (1UP) vs Johnson & Fowler

Another hook from Fowler. His first hole is done. Hatton's however is absolutely pinpoint and gives him a very good chance of par after hitting the water with his first....wow. Dustin Johnson's gone in the water with a wedge. A terrible start for the American pair. They don't even get to putt.

Garcia & McIlroy vs Koepka & Finau (A/S)

Halved in pars again. Generous gimmes exchanged by either side. Very gentlemanly.

Fleetwood & Molinari vs Woods & Reed

The dream team return and the atmosphere is really something at the first.

Fleetwood & Molinari vs Woods & Reed

Crazy head garments here. Even Woods can't pull this look off. Meanwhile he's slapped it straight down the middle.

Casey & Hatton vs Johnson & Fowler (A/S)

With Casey in the water and Hatton in the bunker, Rickie Fowler new a birdie would be good enough and he rectifies those two hooks on the first with a gentle draw to within 20 feet. He holes the putt too and it's back to all square.

Poulter & Rahm vs Spieth & Thomas

And what a final group this is. Chants of 'Rahmbo, Rahmbo' ring out. He's going to be a Ryder Cup star for many years to come.
