FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — It’s getting late early for the U.S. at the 45th Ryder Cup.
[SI at Ryder Cup Live — Morning Foursomes Results and Analysis]
Three sessions into the competition, the U.S. trails by five points at 8½–3½. The largest Sunday rally in Cup history is four points, a deficit erased by the 1999 U.S. team and the 2012 European team. So, the mission this afternoon is simple: don’t trail by more than four, and ideally keep the deficit under that number.
No team has ever won the first three session on foreign soil until Europe this week. The U.S. is up against it, and is desperate to win this fourth session.
Here are the pairings for the Sunday afternoon four-ball matches.
