At the turn: Colsaerts/Garcia 1 down to Dufner/Z Johnson

Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson hold a narrow lead over Nicolas Colsaerts and Sergio Garcia in the third foursomes match on day two of the Ryder Cup in Chicago.

After a halved hole on the first, Johnson found an accurate 7-iron on the par-three second to set up a birdie that the Europeans couldn't equal.

The third was halved with pars before Colsaerts, the hero of yesterday's fourballs for Europe, missed a short putt at the fourth to hand the home pair a 2-up lead.

Dufner and Johnson couldn't get away, however, making a bogey on six to give the Europeans hope of bringing the match back level.

Seven and eight were halved before Garcia found a tidy approach to the ninth and Colsaerts tickled in the birdie. It wasn't good enough to bring the match back all square though as Dufner's putt just crept in.
