Ryder Cup 2016: Sunday final singles pairings, tee times, matches, lineup
The United States looks to take home the Ryder Cup on Sunday in these singles matchups
The United States was able to stretch out its lead on Saturday thanks to a furious rally in the afternoon four-ball matches. The host country will enter Sunday's singles matches with a 9.5-6.5 lead over Europe.
Now that the team competition is over, it will all come down to the 12 singles matches on Sunday. There won't be any hiding struggling players or teaming up comfortable pairings, just one-on-one match play golf.
The United States needs a full five points out of those 12 matches to win the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2008, while Europe needs a 7.5-point day to retain the cup.
Here are the tee times and matchups for all 12 Sunday singles matches:
| Time (ET) | United States | Europe |
| 12:04 p.m. | Patrick Reed | Rory McIlroy |
| 12:15 p.m. | Jordan Spieth | Henrik Stenson |
| 12:26 p.m. | J.B. Holmes | Thomas Pieters |
| 12:37 p.m. | Rickie Fowler | Justin Rose |
| 12:48 p.m. | Jimmy Walker | Rafa Cabrera Bello |
| 12:59 p.m. | Phil Mickelson | Sergio Garcia |
| 1:10 p.m. | Ryan Moore | Lee Westwood |
| 1:21 p.m. | Brandt Snedeker | Andy Sullivan |
| 1:32 p.m. | Dustin Johnson | Chris Wood |
| 1:43 p.m. | Brooks Koepka | Danny Willett |
| 1:54 p.m. | Matt Kuchar | Martin Kaymer |
| 2:05 p.m. | Zach Johnson | Matthew Fitzpatrick |
The highlight of the singles draw is clearly the first match where McIlroy and Reed will go toe-to-toe. McIlroy is 3-1-0 all-time, while Reed is 2-1-1. These two are the heart and soul of their respective teams, and the winner will set the tone for the day. This is a heavyweight showdown that I would shell out pay-per-view prices to watch.
After that, Spieth-Stenson is quite tasty, as are Fowler-Rose and Mickelson-Garcia. Because the United States has a three-point lead, it's clear both teams are gunning for as many early points as possible. The first six matches are all pretty loaded, especially on the European side where captain Darren Clarke is going for broke with his all-stars in the first six matches and then hoping the rest can hang on late.
It's gutsy from American captain Davis Love III, who could've sent out some sacrificial lambs early. Instead, he will put Reed and Spieth out first against Europe's two beasts. If those two lose, that would make things real dicey. That said, two points from Spieth and Reed would take a ton of pressure off the rest of the team, which only needs five points to secure the cup.
