FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) – A capsule look at Sunday’s singles matches at the Ryder Cup:
Young is the only New Yorker on the U.S. team and had the best week. He was sent out first against the 45-year-old Rose, and appeared to have it wrapped up with a par on the 12th hole to go 3 up. Rose hit driver off the deck so far right that he was in trouble in the trees. He wanted a drop on the 14th tee box, but U.S. captain Keegan Bradley intervened. The drop came on a scruffy side hill. Rose hit a shot over the trees to 5 fee to win the hole with birdie. He birdied two of the next three. And he had a 13-foot birdie putt to win the 17th, but he missed. Young made a 12-foot birdie on the 18th to win.
Thomas denied Fleetwood the chance to become the first player to go 5-0 on the road in a Ryder Cup. And he was fortunate to do it. Thomas was 2 down early when he one-hopped a wedge into the cup for eagle on the sixth. Fleetwood was 2 up at the turn when won three straight holes, twice with birdies. Fleetwood caught him with a birdie at the 13th. All square going to the 18th, Thomas made a 12-foot putt for the win.
Fitzpatrick made this look like a European point the entire match until it wasn’t. DeChambeau was 5 down through seven holes when he staged a stunning rally. Fitzpatrick was still 3 up with five to play when DeChambeau ran off four straight birdies to get to 1 down. And then Fitzpatrick missed a 6-foot par putt on the 17th that squared the match. Neither had a good look at birdie on the 18th, two-putting from long range for the match to end in a halve.
