Europe Dominates U.S. at Ryder Cup Ahead of Final Day

The 2025 Ryder Cup is nearing its conclusion, and the European team has firmly established its dominance over the United States. After two days of intense competition at Bethpage Black, Europe has taken a commanding 11.5-4.5 lead over the Americans.

With just one day of singles matches remaining, the U.S. team faces a daunting task to mount a comeback and reclaim the coveted trophy. They would need to secure 14.5 points out of the 24 available to pull off the upset win and deny Europe their second straight victory.

Adding to the drama, the rare "Envelope Rule" has been triggered due to a neck injury suffered by Europe's Viktor Hovland. This rule, which has only been used three times since its introduction in 1979, requires both team captains to write down a player's name in an envelope in case of an injury. If Hovland is unable to play on Sunday, the player named on the U.S. card will sit out, and the match will be considered a tie, with both teams earning a half point.

As the final day of the Ryder Cup approaches, the European team is firmly in control, leaving the U.S. squad with a monumental challenge to overcome the significant deficit and secure a victory on home soil.
