Johnson claws a point back for the US

Padraig Harrington and Henrik Stenson have lost to Scott Verplank and Zach Johnson, 2 and 1, in today's Ryder Cup fourballs match at the K Club

Johnson holed a 15-foot birdie put on the first to put his side one up and then both he and Verplank, making his first appearance of the week, pitched to three feet at the next to turn up the pressure.
