The 18th hole at the Marco Simeone club was looking somewhat redundant for much of Friday's opening day of the Ryder Cup but, after five matches finished before reaching it, fans who showed faith were eventually rewarded with a spectacular finale.
All four morning foursomes were done and dusted before reaching the par five 18th, and Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick polished off their afternoon fourball on the 15th.
The Americans were seemingly in control of the hole until, not for the first time in the day, Hovland sunk a massive putt, forcing Thomas to hole a tricky nine-footer for the tie - which he duly did. The fun wasn't over yet, however. Wyndham Clark and Max Homa were two up with two to play against Justin Rose and Bob McIntyre but Rose won the 17th to take the last game to the very end.
