The last big sporting event of the year.
Europe defending the cup after winning at Celtic Manor two years ago but the US won on home soil in 2008 and start as slight favourites.
There's been much talk of a possible McIlroy-Woods singles clash on Sunday.
Scores tied at 2-2 after the morning foursomes but the USA have started the fourballs well.

That was some tense ending...
Europe have retained the Ryder Cup after looking down and out yesterday at 10-6, it's now 14-13 to Europe with 1 final game remaining.
Edit: final game ends halved, Europe have WON the Ryder Cup 14.5 - 13.5

Absolutely amazing comeback by Europe to retain. It was 10-4 at one stage yesterday.
The final match involving Woods and Molinari is still out on the course. Woods needs to win it to get the draw for the US.

The final match between Woods and Molinari was the only halved match of the 28 played...

The Ryder Cup is just about the only time I take any interest in golf. Even then I generally follow it on the internet (or, in earlier years, on Ceefax) most of the time. I watched the last hour or so tonight and what a finish!

Amazing last day. What a sensational comeback. Who'd have thought golf could be so exciting.

Same as suedehead I generally never watch any golf (boring -also cricket!) but the format with the 12 singles matches all happening at once does make this part of the Ryder Cup exciting. Hard to believe they came from 6-10 (even 4-10) down to win especially since the singles aren't generally the strongest part of the event for th2 Europeans.
Great comeback but as for the suggestions this morning of Ian Poulter for SPOTY - puh-lease!!!!!!!!!

Never thought I'd enjoy this, but watched the whole thing last night with my housemate and loved it!
