Those are the words of Zach Johnson in his first-tee interview.

He also confirms some of his players are on antibiotics but stresses that is "not an excuse" while praising the European team.

Cantlay breaks the U.S. run off the first tee and hits a peach down the middle. So does Rahm.

All four matches are now on the course.

The U.S. cannot get up and down, Europe can. - 2 UP.

Thomas played a lovely shot from the nasty stuff but Speith misses the par putt - Europe get down in two and are 3 UP.

Some respite for Johnson's men at the first as a smart up-and-down secures a half.

Spieth's approach to the third finds some really horrible stuff left of the green - Europe have 11 feet.

Harman comes up just short of the first - Lowry finds the heart.

A bit messy from both teams on the second with neither on the green in regulation.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Homa goes right into the rough on the first and Straka finds the short stuff.

This was not in Zach Johnson's script - but it is very, very early in the day.

Hovland's birdie putt left some meat on the bone at the first but it didn't really matter as Scheffler missed a short one and the hole was conceded.

There was nothing wrong with Spieth's putt for the U.S. but Fleetwood holes from 35 feet and Europe go 2 UP.

Will that start a Chain reaction? (sorry, I will stop, I promise).
