Ryder Cup Sunday is here and Europe will look to close out the Americans after dominating their way to a 11½-4½ lead over the first two days of the biennial competition at Bethpage State Park’s Black Course in Farmingdale, NY.

The Europeans will look for the first victory at an away Ryder Cup since the ‘Miracle at Medinah’ in 2012, when they fought back from an 8½-point deficit in 12 Sunday singles matches to win the event outright.

Luke Donald’s side needs just three points to win the Ryder Cup, while the Americans will have to earn 10 points to pull off a comeback for the ages.

Here is a look at all of the matches set to take to the course this afternoon as the highly anticipated three-day event comes to a close.
