On the T Euro and it looks as though it’s going to be Nikolai hoard out with three current and former world number ones what a debut for the DNE who’s already won around this golf course he did so back in 2021 right after the redesign I think that’s a a big thing to
Have one round here as a rookie massive cuz he’s got he’s got nothing but great memories [Applause] Beauty right down the middle his heart would have been pumping so hard there oh he’s been unlucky he’s going to just run through into that right hand trap where s a magnificent shot from Manhattan run its way through the Fairway into the sand for Nikolai hoard I mean he hit it too good off the tea I mean he bombed it right down the middle he ends up uh getting rewarded in a bunker but um straight away at the flag perfect
Angle a man who’s past champion of the Italian Open hit it really nice there just actually hit it too far I think he’s got the rookie adrenaline uh running three Reigns there cuz two great shots but just distance control a little bit out which can happen he’ll just have to ease his way
Into the game I think just under 50 ft for Nichol hoard up ahead at the green little terrain little elevation to cover as well and is for a three unbelievable what a start from the D oh my goodness Hunter if it it doesn’t rain it pors here what a start for the rookie
Unreal that should settle him down a bit over to four once again this is Nikolai hyar he’s looking calm he’s looking confident Dom I’m liking Nikolai H hyar style here just needs to find the right Plateau though at four well Europe have got two players who’ve won over this course Haan
McIntyre hot he can get there no problem he’s got the power of kept this one’s up the right side needs a friendly bounce I [Applause] think that twoo will be difficult slightly nearer the green might be a little bit easier to number six and Nikolai hyar remember the US in close
And that is a wonderful repost isn’t it from hyar one here a couple of years [Applause] ago two number six once again and high guard yeah could do with it Sheffer rolled is in for three down the hill so this right to left there you go game on once more
Dom flush from the rookie r there the European squad has definitely done a good job of teaming them up with the right guy that’s going to help the fit their personality coming off the birdie at six Nikolai hyar down the hill at the par 37th us not close hit wow
Man distance control is phenomenal there and it’s getting closer but as we speak great chance of biry from that he’s the sort of player Stevie isn’t he if he get in the mood n haer he can just Blitz a golf course after seven hyar to win the hole this a birdie
Part he’s done it again as well two in a row for the D he’s been putting amazing as well it just rolled the pace everything then there’s John Ram laughing now so we’ve got John RAM and Rory just sitting back and taking it all in playing a cameo
Role a little bit of added pressure for Nikolai Hyer yeah he’s got to find the green Dom isn’t he just needs to play right of this there’s plenty of room there and again the the rookie steps in with an absolutely fantastic goal shot when he needed to as you guys would say
Class let’s wander back to the eighth because hyar has a chance here to make birdie and win the hole and take he and RAM two up in this match yeah he’s seen a couple of them but he’s almost just under that Ridge slightly so this will be interesting to see whether
This put does shove right I believe I think he might miss it not the putt that is Hunter but that little dip you think this might be straighter I think it is straighter he’s had three birdies already well I could say there was going to be a PO hold especially after the two
Americans the exact same put he learned from that 100% I’m sure of I think he had a great Instinct for that put after watching it kind of seeing everything I mean that’s boy he looks comfortable out in this golf course [Applause] Right not a bright not a bad lie o go he might be able to get a jumper and get there go go go again just exact same as RAM he just nothing goes forward it just kills it instantly and then rolls back into the same place it’s three yard
Stevie that was on the green that was not a bad effort there you go from the horse’s mouth it’s just such it’s such a sharp front edge of the green as well yeah and as that’s rolled back I think that’s just rolled back into an old um
Divot as well that didn’t look too pretty outside chance for the halfes D to keep Europe one up for hoar struggled all the way up the whole European so this would be to grab one really just hit it to through the Bor through the Bor Anthony he picked it he
Read it right just too firm like you say I think they’re they are drying up they are getting a bit quicker they look they look quite crusty to a little spiky as well hoard at 11 Yep this is this is a guy who can he’s
Got enough ammo to get to the green here comfortably and that’s it’s going to be quite quick coming back down there but he’s got all the green to work with so it’s a it’s a good miss so back to the par three with Nikolai hoard this match tied yeah stay
There what a lovely shot there it was after the two American t- shots there there is really a good chance to have two good puts for Birdie on this home put some pressure on all right to the part of hoard what do you think beef he making it good man good
Man oops that was up there shame I half stay tied I should have kept my mouth shut no he should have had a better P to 14 first to go out of these F remarkably from a little under 20 ft Nikolai hoard for birdie he’s that a great shot from the Rough the rookies man I feel like they’ve been Sensational today they’ve been so good as we see the out come IQ powered by Cap Gemini over on the left favoring the us right now driver I don’t know about this oh no go well it will go that’s
Going to pitch on the back of the green but early W Sam don’t quit on it okay don’t quit on it now I just thought it how softed that land as well oh man that was good decent light Hy guard we can just get this down the right hand side 287 so
Looking to pitches about 255 and run [Applause] it all depends on the LI plenty of green to work with but the one down both Americans the middle of the Fairway both can reach the green so can Ram will be Nikolai hyar to play first he actually got quite a good line the
Rough off the down slope not an issue he can run it in there pitching twoth thirs of the way down running from right to left contact should be good did what he could and Nikolai hoard his like we been around for ages the hoard Brothers still just 22
Good play there from thei just the three just get out in the Fairway cuz he’s a long hitter so he’ll just have a wedge of some sort in there from a great angle you wonder if that’s going to be you know the plan for hoard to throw it down
There and then Tommy Fleetwood Sam sees what he has to Do Sero funny one-handed finish there didn’t play get it cleanly a short spun off a thick rough short of the green up ahead at the grain hoard we saw second shot kind of short spun had a great wow aggressive great shot out that thick [Applause] [Applause] rough up to hoard in this steep cut awkward angle to that flag today I can’t see the bottom of the flag stick Allison it’s a blind shot off an uphill Li it’s a good safe play when your partners already missed the green although Tommy missed it in a good
Spot hoard from up on high down the slipper dip it is to win the hole Jay and this is an unlikely one to make Allison it’s an easy one to knock three fet past H knocked it well past from a similar line maybe a little bit of an over [Applause]
Adjustment Tommy fleetwoods through the back at the third Hy guard now pin five off the right side there oh wow an aggressive shot hits it right of the flag but it’s such sweet contact with that he’s pin High great shot from Ni hogar hoar should have gotten a pretty
Good line off of Harmon’s Miss slightly downhill right to left to win the hole similar results so the us stay one up in that second [Applause] match haar has the ability to hoist it way in the air incred inredible power no problem at all laying on top and stopping it for this
Man this looks good it was magnificent it just looked wonderful right off the club face didn’t he High draw homing in on its Target very impressive this week for a 22 23 year old it’s a little left to right slider here you don’t have to worry about speed not this
Time so two up the Americans as they head to the 50 a true match play moment [Applause] there less than driver as well for hyar driver would be way too much this one going a little bit [Applause] right hyar five trying to get it into the ball should catch the slope
Beautiful judged it almost to Perfection just needs to find the putt now European Captain seeing a little bit of adversity amongst his players out there hyar also in the rough here he’s he’s got a good break though 154 the grass is all laying down and his Ball’s
Laying right up on top of it it’s a terrible angle and a bit of a Downs slope but he can get the club on the ball I su he can get this than 30 ft I was very surprised at Tommy’s result not that it ran through the green but that
He got it up there green side and two but say two of the worst shots we’ve seen off the tea there from any European pairing this week once again to six Nikolai hoard in The Fringe he’s that a good shot from where he was to get it here yes
Excellent result after the t- shot this is a putts going to be breaking left to right gently downhill that’s a good effort that’s the four but it does mean once again that Max Homer will have a chance to put the Americans three up in that second
Match hyar ready to go top of the hill trying to get it the right distance it’s a popular spot down that right side looked like he tried to keep the ball low under the wind slightly to seven Nikolai hoard you fancy this chip yeah I mean you’re just going to
Read this like a putt aren’t you yeah really nice really well done those guys make those shots look so easy [Applause] hyar not a terrible liot here especially with his strength he can get this up on the green certainly pitch it up on the green weather out of this light runs that
Remains to be seen but you know it’s tough with that flag being so close to kind of to the the water’s edge there Jay that it’s like these guys have really no shot to even hit it within 20 ft it seems like up to eight ho
God oh that’s coming in hot that is danger oh that was clumsy Tommy’s sitting good there though it’s a h guard second to n 257 yards oh that’s Weir left go we saw kka hit there hit it in there earlier this morning as well and harman’s in tight it’s not ideal for
Europe it really is a good 30 yards off Target that with the shot he was trying to play guard down in the penalty area at 10 playing yeah just to chop out there really we know what that right side means it’s going to be a really tricky chip from
There hoard’s third shot here on 10 up the slope we know we don’t he doesn’t have much green to work with just trying to hop it up the bank there but I mean he’s probably got less than half a yard to to pitch it into hitting that shot what a tricky tricky
Pin position that is at 10 something Nikolai hoard’s also known for driver out at the path for Fleetwood down to the left this looks good this looks very good good [Applause] shot went for it hoard now has this the tough thing is this is a really tightly moan grass and just doesn’t have
Much of an UPS slope problem’s going to be the first bounce is going to be forward before it stops he’s going to have to fly this about a foot Over The Fringe yeah he’s done well there that wasn’t an easy shot and that’s why you were saying the
Tactical play of laying it back you can get that spin you don’t have to open the face and and play a really cute shot but he’s done well there to give him self a part of Birdie from that distance once again to the 11th and this is Nikolai hoer do you think fleetwoods
Might helped him here yeah definitely that’s a really good three from where his Drive was with only 30 yards pitching into that that area really good hayar last to go massive t- shot downhill live ball above his feet not in play as long as he’s not playing a draw
This one going a little left trying to cut back oh good Heavens what a misjudgment holy misjudgment flyer Nikolai hoard over the back of 12 the US in for an eagle three pretty good effort from from quite long over to 13 and the final t- shot from Nikolai
Hyar a little bit out of sink isn’t he at the [Applause] moment yeah he looks a little quick doesn’t he it seems like he’s kind of everything’s not really moving [Applause] [Applause] together you don’t want to give this team any sort of confidence you just want to this is what the Euro has done all week they just pounded the US hon over the green at 13 well he’s at least going to give Tommy Fleet with a little bit of help
Little read on that part hoard for his Birdie on the 14th can he find it this time he can there you go maybe just maybe in the nick of time looked like he was losing his way a little bit out there over the last few holes didn’t it and then suddenly B off
These pops holes R from 30 ft or [Applause] so mikai following on from the confidence of the bird has found a shocker need some luck Hoy guard ball below the feet long way back out of position find the green allow your partner to go with the pin doesn’t like
It it’s not his favorite hole the 15th H up he going to come out running even if he lands it perfectly inside a 25 ft pin High left would be out standing and if you can give yourself a putt for par maybe take some pressure off of Tommy that’s what you’re trying
To do let’s go n this is for four we think this is for four just having a chop at it has a chance about coming out of nowhere Max Homer what a study’s been man he’s been so solid this week week just 16 and Nikolai Hyer he’s got the drive I’m
Surprised seems like a lot of for him remember boy this is looking good probably needs to get down [Applause] actually you just keep on going how’s about that for a shot Hunter it’s okay man that was sweet I mean a smooth choked down driver to 10 ft the 16th
Hole of the rider Cup on Saturday afternoon are you kidding me incredible look at the scene here haard at the 17th adrenaline’s running I don’t think this is an eight I think this is just a big draw nine on the wi really today feels like his turn but
He just didn’t get enough of it short oh fried X for hyar at 17 he’s on the UPS slope Dom if you just bury the club underneath it’s going to pop up in the air this is doable it’s [Applause] doable that was a pretty good effort wasn’t [Applause]
It oh got at the first short for the win and he has won the hole he likes that first hole Yeah he has one here hasn’t he I’d love to see the start at end of the week of Europe’s first ho wins one of the Europeans said earlier this week
In the press conferences that they were practicing three whole matches in the practice rounds trying to get that feeling of needing to get off to a fast start something that hoard has managed to do he’s two up over Shuffle urgency this is the 12 this is Nikolai hyart the
Youngest player here at the Ryder Cup and a birdie put here to tie the hole and he has not made it so hyar is now two down to Zander chop there’s an awful lot of red on that bottom part of the leaderboard isn’t [Applause] there haard to win the hall let to get
Back to just one down no it’s not going in it’s a little a little bit short too hi go hyar I should say to uh get match nine back to just one down against chaet so those two matches n and 10 very close this is big swing here for haard he just one
Down just says birdie partner is not great is it going to come back at the end at might sure we have a p for birdie there poar over the back of [Applause] 16 [Applause] nicely played shot no heroics this time though from hoard C an awkward lie there awkward spot to be H
