Ryder Cup action you may have missed while sleeping in Sunday


With a five-hour difference between Scotland and the Eastern Time in the USA not everyone got up for the first tee time at 6:34.

Here are some things to help you catch up.

LINEUPS: With a 10-6 lead going into Sunday, Europe needs four points to hold onto the Ryder Cup. Here are the matchups in order of them teeing off (USA players are in bold): Graeme McDowell vs. Jordan Spieth; Henrik Stenson vs. Patrick Reed; Rory McIlroy vs. Rickie Fowler; Justin Rose vs. Hunter Mahan; Stephen Gallacher vs. Phil Mickelson; Martin Kaymer; Thomas Bjorn vs. Matt Kuchar; Sergio Garcia vs. Jim Furyk; Ian Poulter vs. Webb Simpson; Jamie Donaldson vs. Keegan Bradley; Lee Westwood vs. Jimmy Walker; Victor Dubuisson vs. Zach Johnson.

WEATHER OR NOT: The rain is staying away for the final day of the Ryder Cup. The sun, however, is straining to show up. Light winds and overcast skies greeted the singles session Sunday at the Centenary Course at Gleneagles Hotel. After cold mornings the previous two days – and with a later start for the 12 singles matches – players shouldn't have trouble staying warm. Or need their hats and gloves.

MARQUEE MATCH: The third match of the day had Rory McIlroy against Rickie Fowler. McIlroy striped his first tee shot down the middle after Fowler found the rough. McIlroy won the hole with a birdie and then won the second and third holes to be 3-up after three holes and was 4-up at the turn and 5-up after 13 and closed out Fowler 5&4 to put Europe up 11-6.

HISTORY LESSON: The USDA team has to grasp at hope of repeating what only two teams have done before – overcoming a 10-6 deficit on the final day. "That's what will be talking about," U.S. captain Tom Watson said. "It has been done before." In 2012, the Americans, on home soil, couldn't hold a 10-6 advantage as Europe stormed back to win 8½ points out of a possible 12 in singles. In 1999, on home soil, the Americans stormed back in singles to win the Ryder Cup by taking 8½ of a possible 12 points. Watson's final statement to the team: "Make the scoreboard go red."

YOUTH MUST BE SERVED; USA captain Tom Watson sent off his three youngest players -- Jordan Spieth (21), Patrick Reed (24) and Rickie Fowler (25) -- in the first three matches. Spieth and Reed came into Sunday as the only two USA players who were unbeaten. Spieth got off to a quick start with a birdie on No. 2 to go 1-up on Graeme McDowell and then a tap-in on No. 3 to go 2-up. He was 3-up at one time but it was all 2-down after 16 holes and lost 2&1 to give Europe at 12-6 lead. Reed was all-square after seven holes with Stenson. After matching birdies with Stenson on No. 7, Reed gave the shush sign to the pro-Europe crowd and then silenced them on No. 8 with a birdie to go 1-up but Stenson squared it at the turn. Reed grabbed it back with a birdie on No. 11 and another on No. 12 before giving one back on No. 13 and he won the match when Stenson missed a 4-footer on No. 18. It is now 12-7 for Europe. Reed at 3-0-1 was the only undefeated U.S. player for the Ryder Cup.

SHOT OF THE DAY: Matt Kuchar chipped in from 100 yards on No. 8 to go 3-up on Thomas Bjorn. He won 4&3.
