America’s favorite golf pros are outclassed at the Ryder Cup in Rome. The European 12-man squad leads Sunday’s singles with 10.5:5.5 points.

The interim result means that non-playing captain Luke Donald’s team only needs to collect four points from twelve individual matches – win or draw – to win the Ryder Cup two years after the 9:19 defeat at Kohler , win back Wisconsin. .

Since 1979, when the Europeans were able to compete with an all-European team for the first time, only twice has a slightly larger gap than the current one been recorded after 16 doubles matches. An 11:5 (2004 for Europe, 2021 for the US) is the record. In both cases, the leading teams ultimately won hands down. The only notable turnaround was achieved by the Europeans. In 2012 they won 14.5:13.5 after trailing by 6:10. This revolution was the big exception.

Europeans chase record victory

There is no need to be prepared for an upheaval at the Marco Simone Golf Club near Rome, especially as the Americans, led by world number one Scottie Scheffler, failed to do virtually anything, especially on Friday in doubles.

September.

In fact, on the final day, the Europeans can expect to score the clearest victory of the era since 1979. The aforementioned 19:9 for the US from two years ago is the record. (SDA)
