Making the turn with their backs against the wall, the Americans answered with a birdie putt from Cantlay on No. 10 to cut the lead to 1-up. The teams alternated birdies on the next few holes with some stellar approaches, Lowry to 3 feet on No. 11 and Cantlay to 4 feet on No. 12, before Cantlay drained a 13-foot birdie putt on No. 13. McIlroy lipped out his 6-footer, and all of the sudden the match was back to all square. After a tense back-nine stretch, the teams entered the 18th hole tied. Facing birdie putts from under 10 feet, Burns and McIlroy each missed, earning each team half of a point.
