Team USA held a 5-3 lead after the opening day in 2012, leaving the home crowd in a boisterous and vocal mood ahead of the Saturday foursomes.

Bubba Watson had egged the spectators on to make as much noise as possible ahead of his opening tee shot on Friday, with Ian Poulter keen for the electric atmosphere to continue during the second day.
