  Ian Poulter, what have you done? From no distance, gimme range, Europe's gun has lipped out. Ballsy from Spieth and Reed - at a combined age of 46 the youngest pairing in Ryder Cup history - to ask him to putt, but the right call. They head to the second.

  Match one on the third, Simpson from the fairway, finding sand at the right of the bunker. He hasn't played a good shot yet.

  McIlroy, new driver in hand for the first time, draws ooohs and aahs as he sends a monster down the middle, just short of the putting surface. Thunderous. It must be nice to the best in the world. At anything.

  Here we go then, the most eye-catching of the morning matches. McIlroy and Garcia v Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley. Bradley, the man with two surnames and a permanent look of worry on his face, takes to the tee and doesn't like it. It's miles right. Mickelson, getting something of a mixed reception, is on the good stuff.
