World No.1 Scottie Scheffler will lock horns again with World No.3 Jon Rahm in a mouthwatering first match of Sunday singles.

Luke Donald has opted for experience and reputation in his first four European pairings, with Viktor Hovland, Justin Rose, and Rory McIlroy following the Spaniard out as they look to stunt any momentum carried over from Saturday’s fourballs, which America won in dramatic fashion.

Donald’s team only need four points from the 12 matches to win back the Ryder Cup, but have seen their advantage cut to five points thanks to Patrick Cantlay’s heroics.

Cantlay is out third against the undefeated Rose, while Rory has drawn Sam Burns in the group behind.

Further down the order, rookie Ludvig Aberg takes on Brooks Koepka in a battle of the big hitters, while England’s Matt Fitzpatrick faces the in-form Max Homa.

The final match pits Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre against US Open champion Wyndham Clark, though Donald will be hoping it doesn’t get that far. After all, no side has ever come from five back to win in the event’s 96-year history.
