Here we go, then! One way or another, this is going to be memorable. Is Sunday at the Ryder Cup ever anything but? Team Europe – holders of the Ryder Cup, but in all probability not for much longer – take to the first tee, where bedlam reigns, the denizens of the bleachers in party mood. Smiles from Padraig Harrington and his lead man Rory McIlroy. US vice captain Fred Couples comes over to say hello. McIlroy will hit the first drive of the Sunday singles. He steps up, now looking a little nervous, understandably so given his form … then just about drives the green, 350 yards away. His opponent Xander Schauffele up next … and the Olympic champion makes it to the fringe, too. Off they go! Here we go!
For the fourth session in a row, Europe are in desperate need of a fast start. Fourth time lucky, then? Well, if they’re to retain or win the 43rd Ryder Cup Matches, they’ll need to do something that’s never been done before in the entire history of this grand old transatlantic competition: recover a five-point deficit going into the singles.
