Ryder Cup Sunday Singles: Live Updates And Scores As Europe Make Strong Start In Singles

YOUNG NOW 2-UP ON ROSE

Rose makes a mess of the 10th hole and, with a bogey secured, Young has two putts for the victory. Just off the edge of the green, he rolls it up to tap-in range, meaning he is 2-up after 10 holes.

Elsewhere, Straka is now just 1-up on Spaun after missing a putt for a tie, while Rahm is fighting back as he sticks it close against Schauffele.

BRYSON WINS THE EIGHTH

Fitzpatrick makes a mess of the par 3 eighth and, with DeChambeau in close, he knocks in the par putt to move to 4-down.

Up ahead, Schauffele misses a short putt for par, handing the victory to Rahm, who is now 1-down through five holes.

GRIFFIN MOVES 2-UP

USA's Griffin birdies the third and moves 2-up on Hojgaard, with the US rookie producing a fine performance.

McIlroy has parred the seventh and remains tied with Scheffler, with Burns and MacIntyre parring the first hole to also remain tied

LEFT AGAIN

Bryson DeChambeau is in real bother against Matt Fitzpatrick. He pulls his par putt well wide from about 12 feet and it's a gift for the Englishman who goes 5up through seven.

FALDO HAVING A POP

Not the first time the six-time Major winner has had his say on Bryson. The American is struggling against Fitzpatrick, who is just plodding along. Faldo questioning Bryson's strategy - length versus consistency. "Consistency wins every time," says Faldo.

HERE'S HOW TO WIN A HOLE

Here's that hole out from Justin Thomas. A lot has happened since then, as it tends to when all the matches are out - which they nearly are.

Griffin has put some red on the board for the US, he moves 1up after the 1st on Hojgaard. The only match that isn't one-sided is the Bryson match. If you're a US fan, that's the positive - still a tough ask but they have to believe they can turn this around. The problem at the moment is that, as a team, there is no pressure on Europe.

IT'S BUSY OUT THERE

Holes being made all over the place, Straka the latest to drop one from range, moves two up after three on Spaun with a lengthy one. USA are now up in three, Europe up in five.

FITZPATRICK IN A HURRY

4up after 6 on Bryson, with a jumpy little skip/walk into the hole. Bryson looks ready to explode. The American has a case of the pulls going on with the putter by the looks of it.

XANDER 2UP ON RAHM

Xander Schauffele is quietly going about his business, moves 2up against the Spaniard - which is the only red on the board at the moment. That could be about to change in the Rose/Young match.

FITZPATRICK DOING A JOB ON BRYSON

Matt Fitzpatrick is off to a rapid start. Some of what we've seen has been top class, but Bryson has offered one or two gifts. Europe 3up after 5.

HOLE OUT

Take a bow, Justin Thomas. Nothing Tommy Fleetwood can do about that one. Back to 1up after that hole out on 6. No great firing up of the crowd from Thomas, maybe because he's still behind and maybe because there have been words after yesterday's drama.

FIRST BLOOD STRAKA

A birdie puts the Austrian up against JJ Spaun. McIlroy misses from 10ft up at the par 5, and his match with the World No.1 goes back to all square.

Shane Lowry and Russell Henley are off. Interestingly, the cheers for both players are of the same volume. Have fans been reminded of the code of conduct, perhaps?

YOUNG UP FOR THE FIGHT

A tidy birdie from Cam Young on the 6th. Rose is closer but he pulls that one badly. All square in that match now. A rare mistake from Justin.

UP IN 5

Make that up in the first five. Ludvig Aberg walks in a putt on the 2nd against Cantlay. Luke Donald's men have got off to the start that the US needed. Early days but a spark is needed from somewhere to get some red going.

EUROPE UP IN TOP 4 MATCHES

That would more than be enough. Rahm won't be happy with that on the 1st, though, a three-putt from about 8 feet.

ON THE TEE... JON RAHM

Rahm with a 6-iron off the 1st. I jest. Driver, of course, and a standard drive that finishes in short pitch range. Schauffele's drive might have sat down in the rough a little. Advantage Rahm.

Up on the 1st green, Cantlay secures a half with Ludvig Aberg. McIlroy wins the 2nd after Scheffler's troubles, making the birdie. Once again, it's been a blistering start from Europe. An hour or so of this and heads could drop? Just a lazy saying I've taken there from soccer.

ROUGH FOR SCHEFFLER

Chance for Rory on 2. Scheffler is through the back after finding the rough off the tee - proper rough, too.

Bryson has blasted a putt to win the hole 5ft by - not far off the distance he had for the win. He absolutely smashed that - some adrenaline for sure. He misses the return, too. They can ill afford those, and they can ill afford to duff chips, as Scheffler has just done.

Not good signs, these, for Bradley.

PARS IN MATCH 4

I had that down as hole halved in three, but both Rory and Scottie par the 1st with tentative birdie efforts - which is understandable. Both players will be desperate to win this one. Desperate. Good friends, loads of respect, but this is a big one. After Rory's Grand Slam accomplishment in April, it's been Scottie's year again.

MORE FROM DONALD

"Yeah, we thought the US would go with their strongest players out front, as they have. We throughout all of our strongest, too, and we have reserves in the back in case we need it."

RORY V SCHEFFLER

Oh yeah, this match has teed off too. The World No.1 has been strangely out of sorts this week and will be desperate to avoid losing all five matches. Rory getting a lot of stick already, taking his time with his pitch at the 1st, backing off to loud boos.

It's a beauty, as was Scheffler's. Honestly, I don't know how they focus in this noise - any of the players. I struggle to concentrate chipping over a bush in my back garden, which comes with its own pressure.

FITZPATRICK OPENS WITH A 3

Here's that birdie from Fitzpatrick at the 1st. His tee shot wasn't great, but he sent his second way up high and stopped it by the flag. Fleetwood strikes against Thomas, too.

ROSE SQUARES UP

Not another fight, don't worry. He's level in the match, winning the 2nd with a par. Young can't get up-and-down after his pulled tee shot, but the Englishman can.

MATT 1UP

Bryson misses. Fitz does not. Despite the huuuge drive from DeChambeau, he pulls his birdie effort from about 8ft. Fitzpatrick has no such trouble from roughly the same distance, and he takes an early lead.

DONALD ON HOVLAND'S INJURY

"Yeah, he started stiffening up yesterday morning. Tried to go out in the afternoon but got worse and worse. Got an MRI last night. Really, really stiff this morning. Tried to go through his warm up and just couldn’t play. So yeah, he’s devastated. He’s gutted. He wants to go out there and represent Team Europe. Yeah, it’s very, very unfortunate."

DONALD ON MINDSET

"Yeah, zero complacency. We know how strong these guys are. They are very dangerous in singles. We’ve got to go take care of our own matches and try and win the session."

BOXES IT

Here's Young's birdie putt at the 1st. The perfect start.

SO CLOSE

Thomas an inch or so away from a birdie at the 1st. Fleetwood has an opportunity to strike the first blow in the second match. Misses low - good effort. It's a day for split screens, as the third match gets announced on the 1st tee.

Fitzpatrick is away first - left rough. Looking forward to seeing what Bryson does - reckon he might have a pop, just have that feeling. 396 yards today. Just short, didn't quite get hold of it! Huge roars. He smoked that on the most aggressive line we've seen so far this week. Gets a little hug from captain Keegan. Imagine the roar if pitches in from just off the front of the green...

ADVANTAGE EUROPE

A poor opener from Thomas, short with his pitch. Up ahead at the 2nd, Young in closer than Rose - a lot closer. A decent opportunity coming up to go 2up.

THAT YOUNG SWING

There's more than an element of Matsuyama about it with the deliberate pause at the top of the backswing. Works well enough. What a player he's been this week. Regardless of what happens today, Cam Young has shown his team format qualities this week.

THOMAS AND TOMMY SIDE BY SIDE

Most club golfers would love this opening tee shot. I'd prefer to see something like the 18th at Augusta, but with water everywhere and a huge carry and out of bounds in play. Maybe that would be too much for a Ryder Cup.

FROM DOWN TOWN!

Young makes it, of course, and Thomas and Fleetwood are announced on the tee. Boos for Tommy. Standard. Such an awful person (heavy dose of sarcasm).

Rose misses high and Team USA get the perfect start. Nice one... more of that, let's see a proper contest today, please.

HOLE 1, SHOTS 2

Rose long, Young short. Both makable putts. Loud.

LOVING THE 1ST

Rose finds the fairway, not that it matters. Easy first hole. I'd fancy my chances of making a birdie here. May as well head to the second - hole halved in three. Maybe not. Both Rose and Young are nicely placed, though.

Young's task is pretty simple: he really needs to beat Rose and at least give the guys in the following matches something to worry about. It's obviously a big ask, but strange things happen in sport.

JUST THE 11 SINGLES THEN

12-5 it is. Viktor Hovland has withdrawn due to injury, meaning his match against Harris English has been deemed a tie. English can put his feet up. The first match is OFF. Go time.

COMEBACK STATS

Since 1979 in the 28-point era, no team has ever come back from a margin as big as the US are facing today.

Here are the largest final day comebacks:

• 1999 USA, trailed 10-6, won 14.5 to 13.5
• 2012 Europe trailed 10-6, won 14.5 to 13.5
• 1995 Europe trailed 9-7, won 14.5 to 13.5
• 1993 USA trailed 8.5 to 7.5, won 15-13

HISTORY AWAITS TOMMY FLEETWOOD

As the only man currently 4-0, Tommy Fleetwood can create Ryder Cup history today if he defeats Justin Thomas in the 2nd match.

He would becomes the second player to win five matches at one Ryder Cup on away soil and the first ever European to do so.

Tony Lema went 5-1-0 for the U.S. team in 1965 at Royal Birkdale.

HOW MANY POINTS EVERY PLAYER HAS SCORED SO FAR:

SCHEFFLER VS MCILROY IN GAME 4

The World No.1 is, incredibly, 0-4 this week.

Surely he doesn't go 0-5? Rory McIlroy might have something to say about that, though.

Stat: Today’s match between Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will be the first ever Ryder Cup singles match between #1 and #2 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

THE MAN LEADING EUROPE OUT

Justin Rose is 2/2 so far this week and was statistically Europe's best player in the Saturday afternoon four-ball. What a player.

THE FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK?

OFFICIAL RYDER CUP STATEMENT ON VIKTOR HOVLAND

Viktor Hovland of Team Europe will not participate in the Sunday Singles at the 2025 Ryder Cup due to the recurrence of a neck injury.

The Norwegian has been managing the issue since withdrawing from the Travelers Championship in June.

He received treatment during the Saturday morning Foursomes and was then unable to play in the Saturday afternoon Fourballs, with Tyrrell Hatton replacing him in the final match alongside Matt Fitzpatrick.

He had an MRI scan on Saturday night at a local hospital in New York.

He then woke up on Sunday morning unable to move his neck.

He tried to warm up at Bethpage but due to limited movement, he had to inform Captain Luke Donald that he will be unable to play in his Singles match against Harris English at 2.03pm.

Hovland said: “There is nothing more I would like to do than be out there representing Team Europe and trying to help them win the Ryder Cup today. Not being able to do so is pretty heartbreaking. I will be backing my team as hard as I can and rooting them on.

”Dr Andrew Murray, Ryder Cup Europe’s Chief Medical Officer, said: “Viktor’s pain started during the morning foursomes, where he received treatment and medication from the physio and medical team on course during the match. Following this he attempted to warm up for Saturday fourballs, but experienced increasing pain while swinging a golf club, and a lack of range of movement in his neck and withdrew, being replaced by Tyrrell Hatton.“

An MRI was arranged following liaison between Team Europe and PGA of America on-site medical team, which confirmed a flare up of a previous injury - a disc bulge in his neck by a medical imaging specialist.

This morning, Viktor received ongoing treatment but unfortunately he is not able to rotate or flex his neck to one side making playing the singles impossible.”

VIKTOR HOVLAND IS OUT

The Norwegian will not play today due to injury.

Here's the official line:

Viktor Hovland from Team Europe is unable to play in the Sunday Singles Matches due to injury. The substitution Rule 3.d) of the Ryder Cup Captains’ Agreement requires each Team Captain to provide the name of one player, in the sealed envelope, who will not play in the case of an injury to a member of the other team.

The USA Team player is Harris English and under the Ryder Cup Captains’ Agreement the Match between Viktor Hovland and Harris English is treated as tied (1⁄2 point to each team).

The overall Match score now stands as: USA 5 Europe 12

“3.d) When the Captain’s lodge their team selection for singles play, they must provide a sealed envelope containing the name of one player who is regarded as having been paired with a player who, through illness, injury or other emergency reason, has to withdraw from the other side. Such pairing is regarded as a tied match. If this requires the re-pairing of a match, this will be done down the order of the play.”
