Morikawa looks to have won 3 with a 15-foot birdie putt … only for Hovland to roll one in from similar distance himself! That’s a birdie-birdie-birdie start for the young Norwegian, who looks custom-built for Ryder Cup golf. Meanwhile it’s an early gift of a hole for Wiesberger when Koepka whistles his opening drive into a juniper bush.

Cantlay screeches his approach at 5 to six inches. If that. What spin control! He picks up as Lowry concedes, then gives the ball to a delighted young lad. A lovely moment. Back down the hole, a chink of light for Rahm as Scheffler goes for the green in two and gets wet. Then up on 6, Schauffele makes an up and down from an awkward position on a dust path. Par, forcing McIlroy to make his six-foot birdie putt … but he can’t make it. A half that’ll feel like a win for Schauffele. A momentum shifter?
