An out-of-sorts Fowler gifts Sergio the 2nd with a missed tiddler. Back on 1, a similarly struggling Phil Mickelson bogeys, handing Francesco Molinari a fast start.

Rahm then scrambles his par with a lovely ten-foot slider, and celebrates wildly. A street-fighting Spaniard in the Ryder Cup? Whatever next!
