Europe is on the cliff of historic road victory at the 2025 Ryder Cup after another dominant day at Bethpage Black. The Europeans took part in the second session with a three-point lead at the command, improving their position from there, beating the Americans 3-1 in both sessions, gaining an 11.5-4.5 advantage to Sunday’s single.
The seven-point lead into the final 12 matches is the biggest in modern Ryder Cup history, with Europe only needing 2.5 points to maintain the cup. Follow us on live updates, results and scores for the 2025 Ryder Cup from the third Sunday single.
Captain Luke Donald’s Bunch is aiming far higher than that, as a 18.5-9.5 victory at the 2004 Ryder Cup is a benchmark for dominance in foreign soils of this century. Europe has been very focused on the entire week, as evident from its ability to avoid disappointment in either session on Saturday. Without a doubt, the best performance ever will be in their collective minds.
Regarding the US, Captain Keegan Bradley’s bundle is I want a miracle. No team has scored more than 8.5 points on Sunday singles. The US requires 10 points to claim the trophy.
Bradley’s message to the team coming out of Saturday’s destruction was very good for the New England brand. “28-3. I was in that Super Bowl. I saw it.
Bradley’s problem? His star has almost completely no show up to this point. Scottie Scheffler and Bryson Dechambeau are 1-7-0 totals, including a 3&2 loss on Saturday afternoon, where they played together for the first time since 2021. The US needs an entire team of Tom Bradys to carry out this tortured comparison task.
Both teams send their best early as Donald wants to close the Ryder Cup quickly, but Bradley needs a lot of early points to allow for a miraculous comeback. The most exciting singles match was something many wanted to start the week. Scotty Schaeffler and Rory McIlroy cut off their fourth one on Sunday.
That could be crucial by what happens within their first three games before, but it may not be as dramatic as fans would have hoped to enter the week.

| 27 | Robert McInteal -115 | 1:52pm | Sam Burns -105 |
| 28 | Viktor Hovland – | 2:03pm | Harris English – |
Viktor Hovland is doubtful to play as he suffered a neck injury and ended up getting a late scratch from Saturday afternoon’s four-ball session. If he can’t compete, then Harris English isn’t either. The Ryder Cup rules state that if each side receives 0.5 points, the match will be halved.
Sunday’s single may not have much drama in terms of who will lift the Ryder Cup that night, but there will be plenty of financial investments in what will happen on the course.
There are also top scorer props to get grabs on both sides, beyond the exact score bet. The overall scorers come from Europe, where four players have won the event honors.
- 4 Points: Tommy Fleetwood (4-0-0)
- 3.5 points: Rory McIlroy (3-0-1)
- 3 points: John Rahm (3-1-0), Tyrrell Hutton (3-0-0)
McIlroy was the only one who could jump over Fleetwood, and Rahm and Hatton were able to make it a tie with four points.
The expected US side is very dark, but the running of US top scorers is still wide open.
- 2 points: Xander Schauffele (2-1-0), Cameron Young (2-1-0)
- 1.5 points: Patrick Cantrey (1-2-1)
- 1 point: Bryson Deccanbeau (1-3-0), JJ Spaun (1-1-0), Justin Thomas (1-2-0)
Young is guaranteed at least a percentage of top rookie honors. Spaun was the only one who could tie him together just for that prop. Most of the time, Americans play for Pride Sunday, but even if there’s not much else to the drama, there are some stakeholders who want to hit a few winners on Sunday.
