The United States will take a 9-7 lead into the Ryder Cup singles after a dramatic second day at Valhalla.
Holders Europe were 5Ѕ-2Ѕ down going into Saturday's foursomes but hit back to reduce the deficit to two points.
Three of the four fourball matches went to the 18th as both sides battled to claim two points each.
Ian Poulter and Graeme McDowell claimed a vital win for Europe while Boo Weekley and JB Holmes defeated Lee Westwood and Soren Hansen at the 17th.
The final day is now intriguingly poised with Europe needing seven points from Sunday's singles to claim their fourth straight Ryder Cup triumph while the US need 5Ѕ points for victory.
"It was an incredible day," said European skipper Nick Faldo. "It was classic Ryder Cup stuff, the Americans had their day on Friday and we had ours today."
