Ryder Cup 2016 live stream: How to watch Sunday’s matches online

There is just one session left in the 2016 Ryder Cup and it’s the same setup that led to disaster the last time the Americans were closing in on a win on home soil. We’ll never forget that Sunday meltdown at Medinah, where the USA entered the singles session with a big 10-6 lead and proceeded to blow it to the Europeans. It was Team Europe’s largest comeback ever as each individual player picked off the Americans to make erase the margin and take the Cup for a second straight time.

This year, Europe is trying to take the Cup for a record fourth straight time. The USA has never lost four in a row and now they’re back in the same position with a sizable lead heading into Sunday singles. The U.S. is up three points, 9.5 to 6.5, and will need to finagle five out of the remaining 12 points to take the cup. Remember, if it is a 14-14 tie, the Europeans will retain the cup, so the USA has a bit more lifting to do on what is supposed to be a perfect Sunday in Minnesota.

The first match of the day is an absolute monster, with Team USA’s heartbeat and emotional firebrand Patrick Reed taking on the alpha of this entire competition so far, Rory McIlroy. Those two have fired the crowd up, for better or worse, all weekend, blowing the top off Hazeltine throughout their matches. The Ryder Cup is a blind draw, meaning the captains just submit their lineup and order without knowing which way their counterpart will go. So you sometimes get some funky matches when both lists come together for Sunday. But there’s no doubt that the opener will be must-watch and if Europe is dreaming of a comeback, it will start with McIlroy knocking off Reed. It’s hard to think they could find a roadmap to a comeback without that leadoff point going to their strongest player.

Sunday, while weighted heavily with the most points of any session, will be the shortest day of the Ryder Cup. The matches begin just after noon in the east and they could wrap up well before 6 p.m. It all depends on how quickly the USA does, or does not, get those remaining five points they need to take the cup from Europe. NBC will once again have the coverage and you can watch it all via simulcast stream. There will also be a “First Tee Experience” stream up and running to watch that scene and crowd erupt as Rory and Reed, and everyone after, come to the opening tee box.
