Europe Takes Record Ryder Cup Lead Into Singles at Bethpage

Europe needs three points Sunday to clinch the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

Overview

  • The visitors lead 11.5–4.5 after sweeping all four team sessions, the first such sweep since 2006 and the largest modern lead after team play.
  • Justin Rose opens against Cameron Young, Tommy Fleetwood goes out second with a chance to finish 5-0, and Rory McIlroy draws Scottie Scheffler in the marquee match.
  • New York State Police said two spectators were ejected as the PGA of America increased protection around matches following abusive chants toward Europeans.
  • McIlroy is unbeaten through four matches, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is 0-4, the first player to record that mark under the current format.
  • Viktor Hovland was listed 12th but will be evaluated for a neck issue before his match against Harris English, and a withdrawal would result in a halved match.
