Ryder Cup 2023 LIVE: Day 3 scores and updates as Rory McIlroy closes in on victory in Sunday singles

Jack Rathborn reporting from Marco Simone:

“Burns cracks the driver on 16, sweetly struck but then turns to the big screen and slumps after watching his call trickle back down the bank.

“McIlroy only needs three wood and poses elegantly after a superb tee shot. That should be enough to close this one out, save a chip in from Burns.”

Justin Rose v Patrick Cantlay 1UP (16)

Rose is true off the tee and in the bunker and is underneath extra strain as Cantlay finds the driveable par 4 in one. He nestles his as much as the opening and Rose will want a birdie.

From the sand, he leaves himself round 19 ft for the birdie…and he makes it! Remarkable from Rose as the putter runs sizzling at simply the proper time.

3UP Rory McIlroy v Sam Burns (15)

Burns has bounced again from his poor begin to this event and is making McIlroy see this match out after he makes birdie on the fifteenth.

Rory is in shut and his birdie putt holds on to stay three forward! The first indicators of emotion from Rory as he fists bumps on the crowd. Just one gap from victory now for the World No.2.

Jack Rathborn reporting from Marco Simone:

Huge roar on 15 adopted by a a cry of “ole, ole, ole.” Rory delivers one other birdie, it’s dormie! Burns did so nicely to gap his putt, however McIlroy has whipped up the European followers right into a hysteria.

1UP Tommy Fleetwood v Rickie Fowler (9)

What a bunker shot from Fleetwood and what a well timed birdie for Europe. Blue on the board in the ultimate two matches as the Englishman takes a lead in opposition to Fowler forward of the again 9.

3UP Tyrrell Hatton v Brian Harman (13)

An enormous putt down the slop from Hatton as he strikes three clear in opposition to Brian Harman after 13 holes. That match is true right here Europe desires it.

Justin Rose v Patrick Cantlay 1UP (15)

Justin Rose simply doesn’t know when to surrender. What a bounce-back birdie from the Englishman who pours in a 12-footer and celebrates wildly.

This one goes proper right down to the wire.

Jon Rahm v Scottie Scheffler – match tied

So right here now we have it. Scheffler takes the oin out as he seems to be to assault the opening.

He must gap out for the win…however he can’t handle it!

Rahm does it once more, rescueing yet one more half level on the 18th gap. With Europe wobbling that may very well be huge!

Jon Rahm v Scottie Scheffler 1UP (17)

Drama on the 18th. Scheffler is true of the inexperienced in two with the ball in the tough however the American catches a flyer out of the tough and it flies by the again of the inexperienced and nearly clings onto the tough with water lurking.

Rahm is on the inexperienced in two after two monstrous and will simply wish to lag this put down in the direction of the opening from proper throughout the inexperienced….completely carried out by the Spaniard and that can be conceded.

Scheffler must chip in now to win this match.

2UP Tyrrell Hatton v Brian Harman (12)

And now it’s Hatton who’s trying nervy with the flat stick! Almost a kick-in putt however Hatton pushes it proper of the opening and passes up on the chance to maneuver three forward.

Matt Fitzpatrick v Max Homa 1UP (13)

A very good couple of possibilities for Fitzpatrick on the final two holes however he can’t benefit from both. Homa is in shut on the thirteenth, too, however he misses his short-range have a look at a birdie to maneuver two clear. That is a unhealthy miss.

It’s getting nervy on the market!
