Luke Donald’s European team is on the verge of Ryder Cup history. Europe holds an 11½-4½ lead over the US ahead of Sunday’s singles matches. Only a few points are needed for Europe to secure a rare away victory. The team has dominated the tournament so far and is set to make a memorable triumph.
Luke Donald’s Europe have taken a commanding lead in the Ryder Cup against the United States. The European team won both Friday and Saturday sessions and now leads 11½-4½ heading into Sunday’s 12 singles matches. Europe needs only three points to win on the road for the first time since 2012.
The team’s performance has been historic. Europe holds its largest ever pre-singles lead. Tommy Fleetwood nearly matched the US team score on his own. Players like Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, and Viktor Hovland have contributed key wins in the foursomes and fourball matches. Europe has taken both sessions on Saturday 3-1.
Luke Donald, the European captain, praised his team’s focus and determination. He said the job is not done yet and that the US will continue to fight. However, the statistics suggest Europe is set for a victory. Only a handful of teams have come from behind after such a lead at the Ryder Cup.
The American side struggled under the pressure of the European dominance. Security and crowd control were prominent throughout the matches. McIlroy noted the challenges of playing in an away Ryder Cup and expressed pride in the team’s performance.
Europe has already made history and continues to control the tournament. If the current momentum holds, they will secure a significant away win, adding another chapter to Ryder Cup history.
