Starting the second day of Ryder Cup matches with a 3-5 deficit, the United States has some work to do with eight points up for grabs Saturday at Le Golf National.
Europe needs 14 1/2 points to win back the Ryder Cup after sweeping Friday's foursomes.
Follow the big moments of Saturday's fourball and foursome matches here as the Americans look to make up some ground.
Tiger's first birdie putt
Tiger Woods finally cards his first birdie of the day, a long putt on the par-4 seventh, and tries to get his partner Patrick Reed going. They're now down by one to Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari. Reed can't hit a fairway to save his life.
No stopping Rory
The Europeans have all the momentum and Rory McIlroy has taken control of the first match. He's won three holes, and along with Sergio Garcia, has taken a commanding 4-up lead against Tony Finau and Brooks Koepka through nine.
After not making a birdie in fourballs Friday, Rory is in the zone. This Ryder Cup is falling apart for Team USA.
Casey on fire
Paul Casey has four birdies in his first five holes as he returns to the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2008. The Englishman was one of Thomas Bjorn's captain's picks and is coming off T-11 at the Tour Championship. Casey and Tyrrell Hatton are 1 up against Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler as the Euros have dominated fourballs so far.
Make that five birdies in six holes for Casey and now 2 up.
Finau holes out from bunker
Tony Finau, playing in his first Ryder Cup, holes out from a bunker on the fifth and celebrates with a big fist pump. But then Rory McIlroy matches him with a long birdie putt. The Euros remain 2 up in Match 1 and lead three of the four matches.
DJ's horrific start
Things are not going well for Dustin Johnson, who has found water on the first two holes. On the opening hole, his tee shot went to the edge of the water and he chipped out before his third spun into the water. The Americans were already in trouble as Rickie Fowler's tee shot also landed in the drink. They conceded the hole to Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton without a putt.
On the second hole, DJ finds water again, but Fowler birdies the par 3 to get the match back to even. Goes to show that not even the world's No. 1-ranked player is immune to the pressure of the Ryder Cup.
