The Sunday singles is generally a blur but this year trying to keep up to date seemed almost impossible.
After two days of team golf and only four matches going on we now had 12 matches on the course, sporadic glimpses of some head-to-heads and coverage would only move to a lowly game when someone holed a long putt or did something silly.

What are the surprises here?
1) Russell Henley, who had looked so out of sorts alongside Scottie Scheffler, was very much back to his World No. 3 self with his own ball.
He would go round in a six-under 64, which could so easily have been one better had he hit his final putt. The bad news for him is that he was up against Shane Lowry who finished with five 3s.
2) At some point Matt Fitzpatrick will feel disappointed by the Bryson DeChambeau fightback but it won’t put much of a downer on a superb week for the Englishman.
He was four-under for the first seven holes, good enough for a five-hole lead, but then the American threw a load of birdies at him and, in the end, a half looked like a positive.
3) If you needed proof that Rory McIlroy was frazzled by the time the singles came around, then here it is. Scottie Scheffler birdied two of the pars 5s but only managed one more but it was still enough. Both players had not missed a session and it showed here.
4) Only one player, Rasmus Hojgaard, was over par as he ended a week which saw him feature just twice. The coverage only seemed to focus on the bad bits for the Dane – there were three birdies – and he’ll surely be back for more, hopefully alongside his twin brother in Ireland.
5) Sepp Straka opened up with four birdies against Xander Schauffele but he was behind standing on the 11th tee. The Austrian would finish at one-under when he shook hands on the 17th green.
