A win delivers not just pride but a sense of relief; a loss brings shame and a set of questions, questions the players will battle for two onerous years. In name, it's a three-day exhibition. But it's an exhibition in name only.
The Golf Digest team will keep you up-to-date on all the live action from France this weekend through our live blog, with the most recent coverage towards the top. (All times local.)
hat cuts the Americans' overall lead to 3-2, but again, that's about to change a lot more with the wave of blue coming. It would be a pretty big stunner at this point if the U.S. doesn't get swept in these four matches to fall behind 5-3.
5:15 p.m.: Phil Mickelson keeps his match going with a birdie on the 13th hole. He and Bryson DeChambeau just need to win the next five!
5:04 p.m.: Ian Poulter's six-footer for birdie on No. 14 does a 360-lipout to give the Americans some hope. Poulter/McIlroy still have a 3-up lead over Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson, though, with four to play.
4:58 p.m.: After a good tee shot by DeChambeau on No. 12, Mickelson makes a mess out of the second and things get worse from there. First, a failed flop from Bryson and then a bad chip by Mickelson. DeChambeau makes the bogey putt, but it's not enough from going down 6 with 6 holes to play. Meanwhile, Thomas and Spieth make a rare birdie on the par-3 11th to cut their deficit to Fleetwood/Molinari to 3 down. Still the U.S. is 3 down in three matches and 6 down in another. Woof.
4:53 p.m.: Dustin Johnson rolls in another birdie. . . but it's just to halve the hole on the par-5 14th. Johnson and Rickie Fowler remain 3 down with just four holes to play in the lead match.
4:50 p.m.: Ian Poulter puts a halt to the (brief) U.S. momentum by burying a birdie from 15 feet to put Poulter and Rory McIlroy back up 3. What makes this especially disheartening for the U.S. duo is that Poulter hit his tee shot in a hazard, but McIlroy was able to play it and hit a spectacular recovery shot. More bad news for the Americans? Poulter's play seems to have gotten Rory going after a brutal morning.
4:46 p.m.: DeChambeau and Mickelson win their second hole in a row to begin the back nine. Of course, this would mean a lot more if they hadn't lost seven of the nine holes on the front. It's probably too little, too late, but the U.S. still has at least an outside chance of salvaging a (half?) point in the other three matches.
