The Europe team needs four points from today’s 12 singles to regain the trophy.
Rory McIlroy celebrates on the 14th green during his afternoon Fourballs match at the Ryder Cup tournament.
However, after another scorching Rome day, Europe still led 10-1/2-5-1/2 and need four points from Sunday’s 12 singles to regain the trophy and continue their incredible 30-year unbeaten home run in the biennial competition.Inspired by a Ryder Cup record 9&7 victory for Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg, Europe took the morning foursomes 3-1 using the same four pairings who swept a 4-0 success on Friday.
All attention then turned to the two tight remaining matches, with fans packing round to watch the closing holes fully aware of the importance of their outcome. They halved 11 of the first 13 holes before McIlroy, who had won his first three matches, brilliantly birdied the 14th to gain the edge. In response, his teammates took off their caps and swirled them in the air at the suddenly silent crowd crammed around the 18th — a gesture not appreciated by the two European players still waiting to putt.
