The 45th Ryder Cup is reaching its climax on day three in New York, with Team Europe holding a significant advantage at Bethpage Black. Luke Donald’s squad is in a commanding position after excelling in the team events over the first two days, building a comfortable seven-point lead heading into the final day’s 12 singles matches.
With Europe leading 12 to 5, the pressure is on the USA, led by captain Keegan Bradley, to stage a remarkable comeback by securing 9½ points on the last day to reach the crucial 15-point mark needed to reclaim the Ryder Cup. Failure to do so would see the Europeans secure the trophy they last won on American soil back in 2012.
