A former WWE star is set for her first singles match in 870 days.

Scarlett Bordeaux left WWE in August this year, along with her husband, Karrion Kross. Both stars have since lit up the independent wrestling world with multiple appearances across several promotions. While Kross has already returned to the ring, Bordeaux is still waiting to make her singles return. The star is now set for her return to the ring after 870 days.

Former WWE Star Scarlett Bordeaux Will Be In Action At HOG

Scarlett Bordeaux‘s last singles match came at a WWE live event on June 29, 2023, 870 days ago, against Lyra Valkyria. Bordeaux ended up on the losing side. The star has since been featured in mixed action only, but it’s time she can showcase the world her insane abilities.

The former WWE star will finally be in action at House Of Glory Superclash on November 15. The event’s poster officially states that she will be in action and has not been announced for a tag match. It can safely be assumed that she will be in singles action as fans will look to cheer her on.

Hugo Calderano topped Kanak Jha in the Men’s Final and Adriana Diaz’s upset in the Women’s Final blocked a Brazil sweep of singles titles as action continued today in the ITTF Pan American Championships in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

Both the Semifinals and Finals were played on Wednesday.  In Men’s Singles, top seed Hugo Calderano won three games before Nicolas Burgos mounted his comeback.  In the end, the final blow was an 11-5 win in the sixth game giving Calderano a 4-2 win.  USA’s Kanak Jha dominated the other Semifinal with a 4-0 win over Horacio Cifuentes of Argentina.  The Final was played a few hours later, and it took Jha several games to match Calderano’s energy.  Calderano won two games easily 11-6 and 11-6 before three tight games.  Jha won the third game 11-9, Calderano won the fourth game 12-10, and Calderano closed out the match with an 11-9 win in the fifth (a 4-1 win).

The story of the Women’s draw is the dominant performance of Puerto Rico’s Adriana Diaz.  Diaz won all four of her matches 4-0.  Diaz entered the event as the second seed behind Brazil’s Bruna Takahashi.  In fact, the top four seeds each advanced to the Semifinals.  Takahashi Bruna defeated Canada’s Mo Zhang 4-2 in the top half of the draw.  It was at that point that Diaz started her amazing final run – defeating USA’s Lily Zhang (the 3rd Seed) 4-0 in the Semifinal and then dominating Takahashi 4-0 in the Final.

The Doubles Finals have already been played.  The Brazilian team of Leonardo Iizuka and Guilherme Teodoro won Men’s Doubles.  The Argentinian team of Lucia Cordero and Hidalynn Zapata won Women’s Doubles.   In Mixed Doubles, it was Brazil again – the two top seeded Singles players teaming up with Hugo Calderano and Bruna Takahashi taking the title.

The Teams competition begins tomorrow, with the Finals scheduled for this weekend.

291 days later, a former WWE star returned to singles action.

There have been many unique and interesting characters who wrestled in both WCW and WWE throughout the years, among them being Shannon Moore. The 46-year-old competed in WCW from 1999 to 2001, then joined WWF after purchasing World Championship Wrestling.

While at the Stamford-based promotion, he was best known for being “Matt Hardy’s Follower,” being involved in the Cruiserweight Championship scene, and working with the likes of Brock Lesnar, Big Show, JBL, and more. He was released in 2005 but returned in 2006, where he competed in the ECW brand and had an unexpected partnership with Jimmy Wang Yang. However, that was again cut short in 2008.

The former WWE star also wrestled in TNA from 2010 to 2012. After spending time in Total Nonstop Action, he began wrestling in the independent scene, where he remains to this day. Shannon Moore’s recent matches in the indies are for tag team clashes or for multiple people. However, that has since changed.

In a recent Ring of Honor Taping on October 2 at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Florida, fans in attendance shared that Shannon Moore was present to wrestle Blake Christian. However, the former WWE star was defeated.

The recent Ring of Honor match marked his first singles match since December 25, 2024, against Elijah at that year’s ALW Reindeer Games at the Space Coast Convention Center in Cocoa, Florida. For this match, it was the former superstar who won.

Shannon Moore Had To Change His WWE Gimmick As It Was Close To CM Punk’s

One of the gimmicks Shannon Moore possessed was his “Punk” look, which even gained him the moniker of Prince of Punk, among many others. However, he wasn’t able to fully express this when he returned in 2006 due to CM Punk’s similar character.

While on Talk is Jericho at the beginning of this year, Shannon Moore shared that after returning to WWE, the company wanted him to work with CM Punk, which he did in ECW. However, whenever Punk was brought in, they had to “squash” his punk character, even if he had been doing it for around six or seven months prior.

Despite this, Shannon Moore thinks the Stamford-based promotion made the right call in picking the current superstar to play the character, as he has made them millions already, and possibly even more.

… and here’s a reminder of how everything panned out on yet another memorable Singles Sunday at the Ryder Cup. Team USA regained their pride after two days of struggle, and while Team Europe made their task significantly harder than it should have been, there’s no doubting they were the better team over the three-day piece, and thoroughly deserved their victory. Congratulations to Europe, commiserations to the USA, and thanks to you, dear reader, for reading. Back in a couple of years time at Adare Manor? Great, see you then, it’s a date!

Post-stress postbag. “Bob MacIntyre getting half a point in the final match was not insignificant. Had Europe won on 14.5 points people could say it was only thanks to the half point obtained by Hovland’s injury, a half point they might not have obtained had he actually played and lost†– Chris Healy

“I can’t help thinking Europe’s captain and vice-captains, going all the way back to Tony Jacklin, and their preparation of the team, continues to have a lasting influence on the destination of the Sam Ryder trophy†– Simon McMahon

“Just entranced watching the best sporting event in the world†– Colin Livingstone

“Maybe it shows an insight into the team dynamics that individually the US showed more fight than as pairs†– Fin

“Shane Lowry dancing: Michael Flatley eat your heart out!†– Pól Ó Dochartaigh

Ewan Murray’s report has landed …

… as has Bryan Armen Graham’s view from a US perspective.

Share

The president of the PGA of America, Don Rea Jr., rocks up to congratulate Team Europe on winning the 45th Ryder Cup … and then it’s handed over to Luke Donald, who raises it to wild cheers. Then it’s lifted again and again by the team. First Shane Lowry, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Ã…berg, Rasmus Højgaard, Robert MacIntyre (who theatrically switches from a right-handed lift to a leftie), Sepp Straka, Tyrrell Hatton (who spins around a-la Lowry on the 18th), Jon Rahm (who does the hide-the-trophy-then-come-up-with-nothing gag), Viktor Hovland, Matt Fitzpatrick, and finally Rory McIlroy, who gives it a kiss. And then Shane Lowry gathers up the cup and races down the bank to the fans, disappearing momentarily into the gallery. What a celebration! What a team! Let’s be honest with ourselves: what relief!

“I don’t think my heart can take two more years,†Donald adds. Some proper disappointed boos now, so he quickly backtracks. “We’ll see!†Cheering again.

Share

There’s that booing sound again … we’ve heard it so often this week … though this time it’s Luuuuuuuuke! He takes the microphone to address the gallery. “I must congratulate Team US and Captain Keegan for the amazing job they did and the fight they showed … but we got it done … to win in New York, they said it couldn’t be done, but we did it! … Shane [Lowry] is a legend! … honestly so proud of each and every one … that putt at the end was dead centre, right?! … only 37 players have ever won away … now we’ve got 47 … this is for Europe, for the legends that came before us, and the future generations that will be talking about this team for a long time!â€

Share

All of the players line up on the 18th green to clasp hands, offer congratulations and commiserations, and hug each other. It was a hell of a battle, but now it’s over, there’s so much respect between everyone involved. Europe congregate for the victory ceremony and the award of their prize.

Share

Keegan Bradley, grim-faced but proud, delivers a magnanimous verdict. “The players are a tough group … we didn’t play our best the first couple of days but we did today … that was a really fun day … we had all of our fun in one day … I really enjoyed doing this … I will never forget it … it was amazing … I think I would have set the course up a little different … but they played better than us … they deserved to win … they’re a great team … in my eyes Luke Donald is the best European Ryder Cup captain of all time … I got a real weird relationship with this tournament … a lot of heartbreak … but I still love it … I love the guys … I don’t know if I’ll ever get to do this again, so I’ll remember this all of my life.â€

Rory McIlroy has arrived for the party, and, after choking up for a moment, he tells US television: “I’m extremely proud to be part of this team … every single one of the players, the VCs, the captain, all the backroom support staff … it was an unbelievable collective effort … as soon as we won in Rome we turned our attention to trying to do something everyone thought was pretty impossible … win here in New York … it’s been an amazing week … to here the olés here in America … the comments after Whistling Straits [where the USA won a record 19-9 in 2021] about decades of American dominance, we took a lot from that … we let it fuel us … we got so lucky in getting an incredible leader in Luke Donald …we are going to celebrate like there’s no tomorrow!â€

Result: USA 13-15 Europe

Sam Burns races his long birdie putt eight feet past the hole. Bob MacIntyre, to the soundtrack of some glorious lone eejit singing Flower of Scotland, rolls up to pick-up distance. Burns can’t make the putt coming back, and that’s the hole and a half-point for Bob Mac. It’s ended way closer than anyone expected six hours ago … but Europe won’t care a jot right now!

Shane Lowry meanwhile continues to sob. He’s hugged by Jose Maria Olazabal, the man who oversaw the Miracle of Medinah. Fancy reliving that as well?

Share

Tyrrell Hatton, blissfully relaxed, speaks to Sky. “To be honest it’s been one of the hardest days I’ve ever experienced on a golf course … going out number 10 of 11 matches, you are obviously hoping that everything’s wrapped up … but you still want to take pride in your individual record … the US lads put up an incredible fight … it was to be expected, they’re amazing players … selfishly I was really hoping that it wouldn’t have to come down to me … the last five, six, seven holes were just horrible to be honest … I’m just so happy we’ve managed to win … it’s a special team … I’m very fortunate to be a very small part of it … the greatest golf weeks of your life!â€

Share

There’s still one match out on the course, and here it comes up 18. Bob MacIntyre knocks his second into the heart of the green. Sam Burns can only spin his ball off the front and onto the fringe. While that plays out, the European fans – who have taken over the main grandstand, nearly all of the USA supporters having gone home – serenade the absent Rory McIlroy, who having been put through the emotional ringer all week is currently nowhere to be seen.

Share

Luke Donald – who has just become only the second European captain after Tony Jacklin to win home and away – speaks to Sky Sports. “It’s got to be the most stressful 12 hours of my life … shout out to the Americans … Keegan and his captaincy … we knew they would be tough but I didn’t think this tough! … on Sunday they fought so hard and all the respect to them … but this means a lot to me and the team … we came here knowing the task was very difficult … I couldn’t be more proud of the guys and what they have gone through … I was fortunate to have a team that knew me and trusted me … I just tried to be the best prepared I could be … I am so, so happy for them.â€

What about another “two more years / two more yearsâ€? “I think I wanna enjoy tonight first, thank you!â€

The European team flood the green. Hatton raises his arms more in relief than pure celebration. But there’s plenty of time to celebrate properly later. Europe to a man look utterly exhausted. Delighted, but spent. They hug and chat. Wow, that was harder than anyone thought it would be. Hats off to Team USA for giving Europe such a huge fright … and congratulations to Europe for hauling it over the line. Ludvig Åberg, Shane Lowry and Tyrrell Hatton the heroes of the day!

USA 12½-14½ Europe: Europe win Ryder Cup!

… Collin Morikawa’s putt never looks like making it to the hole. He’s three feet short. Tyrrell Hatton isn’t taking any chances, and doesn’t go for the heroic win. He rolls carefully up to kick-in distance, and the Ryder Cup is Europe’s once again! Collin Morikawa ties with Tyrrell Hatton.

… while in the meantime, Sam Burns and Bob Mac share the spoils on 17. They’ll be coming up 18 too. Then up on the green …

Share

Collin Morikawa up first from 116 yards. He reaches the green, but he’s short and it spins back to that 50-foot range, McIlroy-Griffin-Hojgaard Country. Tyrrell Hatton barges through the open door, his approach landing 15 feet short. Serious advantage to Europe here! So close to the half-point they need for victory. Can Morikawa do anything about it?

Share

Back on 17, Sam Burns sends an average tee shot into the green. He’ll have a 35-foot look at birdie. Over to Robert MacIntyre, who lands his tee shot pin high. He’s got an 18-footer coming up. Meanwhile up on 18, both Collin Morikawa and Tyrrell Hatton send decent drives away. Hatton a bit longer, but in the first cut, while Morikawa sits on the fairway. This is sporting melodrama at its heightened best!

Ben Griffin rolls his long birdie putt up to kick-in distance. That turns things over to Rasmus Højgaard, who has the chance to win the Ryder Cup … albeit from 50 feet. He prowls. He ponders. He leaves the pin in. He surely won’t die wondering. He gives it a good rattle, but it slides by on the right. Ben Griffin beats Rasmus Højgaard 1UP.

Shane Lowry is already on the Magners. Fair play, he’s done more than most to earn a cold one. He watches on from the side of 18 as Rasmus Højgaard, who had sent his tee shot into sand, whips into the middle of the green. Backspin costs him a quite a few feet. But the same thing happens to Ben Griffin from the centre of the fairway, and the pair will have a look at birdie from McIlroy Country. Meanwhile Collin Morikawa and Tyrrell Hatton halve 17 in par.

Lowry then announces that Luke Donald is “the greatest captain that’s ever lived … the most amazing man in the world … he’s done the best job … I honestly don’t know what to say … I dunno … [the 2027 match at Adare Manor, Ireland] will be a little bit nicer than playing here, I know that!â€

Updated at 17.44 EDT

A lovely moment as Justin Thomas, who did so much to drag Team USA back into contention, arrives to offer Lowry his warm congratulations. The crowd may have acted up once or twice this week, but that’s a gorgeous gesture. Lowry unfurls the Ireland flag – the Eamonn Darcy de nos jours – then is asked by US television how this ranks in his career. He crumbles, sobbing sweetly, before gathering himself: “I’ve been so lucky to experience amazing things … aw! … that was the hardest couple of hours of my life … I can’t believe that ball went in … I stood over it going, this is it … I said to [my caddie] walking down 18 I have the chance to do the coolest thing in my life here … the Ryder Cup means everything to me … I won the Open in Ireland and it was a dream come true … but the Ryder Cup for me is everything … so to do that today … fair play to the US lads … I just hope one of the boys can get the half point for the win!â€

USA 11-14 Europe: Europe retain Ryder Cup!

… rolls it in! Shane Lowry leaps around, as elegantly as he can! He skips and spins and runs and skips and hops and skips and screams! A huge release of pressure! He’s fought back for the half point that means the Ryder Cup stays in Europe’s possession! Russell Henley ties with Shane Lowry.

… leaves it a smidgen short! Shane Lowry will have a chance to make a putt that’ll secure half a point, and ensure Europe will retain – if not win – the trophy! What absurd drama. This is sport, right here. Lowry prowls, and prowls, and …

Share

… and while we wait for that, Ben Griffin and Rasmus Højgaard take turns to nearly make long birdie putts on 16. Nearly, but not quite. The pressure immense! Back to 18 now, and Russell Henley, one of the best putters around, steps up with another chance to win the match, and …

Share

One of the shots of the week by Russell Henley! He whips his wedge over the high face of the bunker, through some tall grass, and sends a draw towards the back-left of the green. He’s just ten feet from the flag! Over to Shane Lowry, who needs something very special now. He responds by wedging to six feet. But will he get the chance to take his putt? Because if Henley makes it, this point is America’s.

Share

… or how about Tyrrell Hatton, who betters Collin Morikawa’s approach at 15 from 162 yards to 22 feet with an iron from 165 yards to 12 feet? Morikawa is one joule of energy away from draining his putt; Hatton’s is always missing on the high side. Meanwhile Bob MacIntyre flays his tee shot at 15 off some poor punter’s leg down the right. A lot of hopping around in pain ensues. The tension is off the scale!

USA have celebrated many heroes this afternoon. Europe not so much. They desperately need one. Someone to step up. As things stand, only Ludvig Åberg is coming out of this potential fiasco blameless. What about Shane Lowry? He zips his drive down the track at 18, turning the pressure back on Russell Henley … who pulls his tee shot into a bunker down the left. He’s up against a steep face, too. He’ll probably be able to get his ball up, out and onto the green … but let’s just see.

Share

Shane Lowry does his best with the long putt across 17. But it stops four feet short. That gives Russell Henley the chance to win the match from ten feet … but he underhits a nervous one. That gives Lowry the opportunity to salvage a half, and at least take the match up 18. He strides around the putt, before rolling it home confidently. Lowry still alive. Just. But he needs to win 18.

The opera star is clearing her throat once again on 17. Shane Lowry’s tee shot topples down the ridge on the right side of the green; Russell Henley knocks his to ten feet. Lowry will most likely have to sink a putt from 55 feet to stay alive. Meanwhile on 15, Ben Griffin has two putts from distance for the win. He overhits his first one, but it clanks into Rasmus Højgaard’s marker, which takes some pace off the ball. It stops near the cup. A stroke of luck for Team USA, but my goodness they’re earning it!

Straka’s putt from the back of 17 doesn’t reach the hole. That gives JJ Spaun two putts to put another point on the board for the hosts, and he nudges the first close enough to earn the concession. Bethpage Black en fête! JJ Spaun beats Sepp Straka 2&1.

Sepp Straka, three down with three to play, wins 16 to stay clinging on by his fingernails. He then sends his tee shot at 17 to 25 feet … but JJ Spaun knocks his to 15. Meanwhile Bob Mac birdies 13 to draw level again in his to-and-fro match with Sam Burns. And a sickener for Shane Lowry on 16: he was odds-on to draw level after sending his second from 170 yards to three feet, only for Russell Henley to make a 16-footer for birdie. Lowry makes one too, but there’s a half that’ll feel like a loss. Especially under these circumstances!

In fact Rory McIlroy’s birdie putt is a 60-foot behemoth. He rolls it 61 feet up the green, just past, and it’s not enough. Scottie Scheffler cradles his birdie putt to kick-in distance, and world number one beats number two.

Europe still need half a point to retain the cup, and absolutely nothing is certain. Time is running out for Shane Lowry, but from the semi-rough to the right of 15, he whips an iron to a couple of feet, and slices his deficit against Russell Henley in half. Meanwhile Tyrrell Hatton shoves a short putt wide right on 14; a chance to take the lead over Collin Morikawa gone. Repeat: absolutely nothing is certain.

Rory McIlroy’s tee shot on 18 finds a big bunker down the right of the fairway. Before he can take his second, he’s heckled again, and is forced to step away. Can he find the heart of the green with his wedge? Not quite. Just the front fringe, and he’ll have a 50-footer for the birdie he realistically needs to snatch half a point. And even then … Scottie Scheffler lands his second pin high from the centre of the fairway. He’s got an 18-footer to seal the deal.

Matt Fitzpatrick finds the fairway at 18. Bryson DeChambeau sends his drive into the thick stuff down the right. Fitzpatrick can only find the front of the green, 40 feet away, nerves taking their toll. Bryson powers from the filth to similar distance. He’ll be putting first. Huge moments coming up! Meanwhile Ludvig Åberg has a putt on 16 to close out his match against Patrick Cantlay, but can’t make it. He’s dormie two, though, so is guaranteed at least half a point. Europe will take anything and everything right now!

Tommy Fleetwood’s putt never looks like dropping. Always dying to the left. Just a par. The door’s wide open for Justin Thomas. If he makes this birdie putt, the roof will come off every house in the state of New York…

Share

No he can’t. Fitzpatrick’s putt doesn’t catch enough of the right-hand lip, and horseshoes out. Bryson was 5DOWN but now they’re level going up 18! What drama here! And up on the 18th green, Justin Thomas sends his approach inside Tommy Fleetwood’s. He’ll have a look at birdie from 11 feet, while Tommy is putting from 20. Wow.

Share

Bryson sets his birdie putt at 17 off on the correct line, a left-to-right glider. But it stops one turn short. A chance for Fitzpatrick to halve the hole and secure at least a half-point coming up. But can he take it? Huge putt coming up.

Share

Bryson finds the heart of the par-three 17th. Matt Fitzpatrick’s tee shot topples into the fringe at the back … and he doesn’t hit the putt coming down the green at all. Very timid. He’s got seven feet still to travel. Bryson with a putt from 25 feet for the win? Birdie meanwhile for Russell Henley on 13, and he takes the lead against Shane Lowry for the first time, while JJ Spaun re-establishes his two-hole lead over Sepp Straka on 14.

Like Justin Rose before him, Tommy Fleetwood has the chance to secure at least half a point for Europe with a gettable birdie putt on 17. But he leaves it short. Match two will be going up 18 as well. What drama here! Fleetwood finds the fairway, while Justin Thomas’s drive fades into the semi-rough down the right.

USA 6-12 Europe

… this one’s not missing! A left-to-right curler that’s perfectly judged! Cameron Young nearly threw that point away, shipping a three-hole lead on the home stretch. But he came good again when it really counted. Rookie of the week? Rookie of the week. Cameron Young beats Justin Rose 1UP.

Justin Rose and Cameron Young still can’t be separated. Both take turns to send their second at 18 towards the back-left portion of the green. Rose to putt first. He leaves his 15-footer on the high side. Over to Young, who has one from 13 feet. A similar line. And …

Ben Griffin has just missed a tiddler on 11. So golf being golf, he tramlines a 50-footer across 12 for birdie! But it’s not enough for the win, because Rasmus Højgaard rattles in a staunch 12-footer for the half. Meanwhile birdie for Sepp Straka on 13 to half the deficit against JJ Spaun.

Share

So much depends upon a red wheel barrow this lead match between Cameron Young and Justin Rose. Young was 3UP and cruising; now it’s in the balance going up 18. And both men have just split the fairway. Young’s a few yards further along, so it’ll be Rose approaching first. A classic matchplay situation straight out of the top drawer!

Rory McIlroy’s second into 15 sticks on the fringe at the back of the green. Scottie Scheffler is nine feet away. Something has to happen for Europe. And it does, as McIlroy tickles in his downhill right-to-left slider. He turns to face the crowd, throws his arms wide, soaking up the cheers from a European contingent nearby, and bashes the European crest upon his heart. But it’s only enough for a half, as Scheffler teases in his missable left-to-right swinger. The hardest hole on the course, halved in birdie. The world numbers one and two took a while to get going, but they’ve done so in some style here!

Share

… this one stays up on the left! The crowd celebrate the half as they would a win. A huge let-off for Young there; a huge missed opportunity for Rose. Meanwhile on 13, Jon Rahm spurns another promising European position, a ten-footer that dies on the low side. A chance to eat into his arrears against Xander Schauffele gone.

Justin Rose whistles his iron at the par-three 17th to 13 feet. Cameron Young hits an almost identical shot, to 15 feet. Young up first. His downhill left-to-right tickler dies to the right on its last turn. Just a par. A chance for Rose to complete the comeback and guarantee at least half a point, and his putt is a little bit straighter. He steps up, and …

Bryson continues to close in on Matt Fitzpatrick! He makes his fourth birdie in a row, this time at 15, after nearly slam-dunking his second into the hole from 143 yards. He tidies up and now there’s just one hole in it. Fitzpatrick looks stunned. Can he hold onto his point? Even a half? Meanwhile Ben Griffin watches in horror as a par tiddler lips out on 11. His match with Rasmus Højgaard is all-square again.

Cameron Young’s birdie putt from 13 feet on 16 skates by the left-hand lip. Justin Rose’s putt from four-and-a-half feet is never missing. Rose has won three of the last four holes, and the lead match is now level. Better news for the USA on 12, where JJ Spaun whips a fairway wood from 226 yards to three feet! In goes the birdie putt, and there was very little Sepp Straka could do about that. The US Open champion moves 2UP.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Europe has retained the Ryder Cup, fending off a furious rally from the United States in singles play Sunday at Bethpage Black.

The Americans’ hopes of a historic comeback ended when the eighth singles match between Shane Lowry and Russell Henley was halved, with the Irishman sinking a 6-foot birdie putt on No. 18 after Henley missed short from a similar line a few feet farther out.

That half-point gave Europe the coveted 14 it needed to retain golf’s ultimate team prize.

“I mean, I’ve been so lucky to experience amazing things in this game,” Lowry, in tears, said. “That was the hardest couple hours of my life. Honestly.

“I just can’t believe it. I can’t believe that putt went in. … The Ryder Cup means everything to me.”

Europe started play Sunday needing just 2 points to beat the host Americans. It led 11.5-4.5 when play concluded Saturday, and the score moved to 12-5 when Norway’s Viktor Hovland was forced to withdraw from singles due to a neck injury, which turned his scheduled match against Harris English into a draw.

The U.S. got two points early, with Cameron Young and Justin Thomas both converting birdie putts on No. 18 to win their respective matches over Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood.

Bryson DeChambeau halved his match with Matt Fitzpatrick despite being 5 down through 7 holes, and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, winless through the first four sessions, beat Rory McIlroy, 1-up.

But Ludvig Ã…berg’s 2-and-1 win over Patrick Cantlay moved Europe within a half-point of victory, allowing Lowry to win with a half.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – The European team moved to within two points of retaining the Ryder Cup on Sunday after Viktor Hovland was forced to withdraw prior to his singles match because of a neck injury.

Per the captains’ agreement, the anchor match between Hovland and Harris English will now result in each team receiving a half-point.

The scoreboard now stands Europe 12, U.S. 5, with 11 singles matches set to begin at 12:02 p.m. local time.

Each team, before the start of singles, has to put a player’s name in a sealed envelope before the start of singles in case of an injury.

It’s the first time since 1991 that the rule has come into effect.

“There is nothing more I would like to do than be out there representing Team Europe and trying to help them win the Ryder Cup today,†Hovland said in a statement. “Not being able to do so is pretty heartbreaking. I will be backing my team as hard as I can and rooting them on.â€

Hovland has been dealing with a neck issue for the past two months and was a late scratch for the Saturday afternoon fourballs session. He was replaced by teammate Tyrrell Hatton, who teamed with Matt Fitzpatrick to win their match.

Europe’s chief medical officer said that an MRI on Saturday night confirmed that Hovland had re-aggravated a prior injury, a bulging disc in his neck. Hovland said Sunday that he was unable to move or flex his neck from side to side.

English, making his second Ryder Cup appearance after qualifying for the team automatically, had gone 0-2 for the Americans in foursomes play.

Up seven points, 11.5-4.5, Europe unsurprisingly enters Sunday singles as the heavy betting favorite to win the 45th Ryder Cup.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Europe is -4000 to win outright while the U.S. is listed at +6000. Needing only two-and-a-half points to retain the Cup, the Europeans are -10000 to accomplish at least that.

Here are the odds for each of the 12 singles matches (U.S. players listed first):

12:02 p.m.: Cameron Young (-145) vs. Justin Rose (+105)
12:13 p.m.: Justin Thomas (+115) vs. Tommy Fleetwood (-155)
12:24 p.m.: Bryson DeChambeau (-170) vs. Matt Fitzpatrick (+125)
12:35 p.m.: Scottie Scheffler (-145) vs. Rory McIlroy (+110)
12:46 p.m.: Patrick Cantlay (-130) vs. Ludvig Ã…berg (-105)
12:57 p.m.: Xander Schauffele (+125) vs. Jon Rahm (-170)
1:08 p.m.: J.J. Spaun (-145) vs. Sepp Straka (+105)
1:19 p.m.: Russell Henley (-145) vs. Shane Lowry (+105)
1:30 p.m.: Ben Griffin (-145) vs. Rasmus Hojgaard (+105)
1:41 p.m.: Collin Morikawa (+100) vs. Tyrrell Hatton (-135)
1:52 p.m.: Sam Burns (-115) vs. Robert MacIntyre (-115)
2:03 p.m.: Harris English vs. Viktor Hovland*

*odds not listed as Hovland is questionable to compete because of a neck injury

What stands out? Though the Europeans are likely to win on Sunday, it’s worth noting that the Americans are favored or co-favored in eight of the 11 matches with odds.

Leading by seven points entering Sunday singles, Europe needs just two-and-a-half more points to retain the Ryder Cup.

And by the start of the first singles match at 12:02 p.m. ET, the visitors might only require two.

That’s because Viktor Hovland, who was a late scratch from Saturday afternoon fourballs because of a neck injury, might not play. European captain Luke Donald confirmed Saturday night that Hovland was on his way to get an MRI.

“We’ll see in the morning what he’s like,†Donald said. “It’s definitely stiffened up a little bit. He would love to play, and he’ll do everything he can to play.â€

If Hovland can’t go, U.S. captain Keegan Bradley will be forced to open his envelope.

The Envelope Rule, created in 1979, requires each captain, prior to singles, to put one of his players’ names in an envelope, only to be unsealed if a player on the opposing team withdraws because of injury or illness. The player revealed in the envelope would then sit out the final session along with the injured player on the other team, and both sides would receive a half-point, so long as the withdrawal happened up to 30 minutes before the start of the first singles match.

Hovland is set to play in the anchor match on Sunday, meaning that if he doesn’t play, whomever is chosen by Bradley to sit would be removed from the tee sheet and every American underneath that player would slide up a match.

In the past, only two envelopes have been opened. In 1991, Europe’s David Gilford sat out after American Steve Pate withdrew following a car accident earlier in the week. And then two years later, American Lanny Wadkins volunteered to not play following the withdrawal of Sam Torrance because of a foot injury.

Bradley said Saturday night that he hadn’t made his decision yet as to whom he was selecting.

‘We need to go out there and play this tournament the way it was supposed to be played,†Bradley said. “I have to go figure this out now. I’m still learning what’s going on. I don’t know how that’s going to end up.â€

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – The world No. 2 is undefeated and has happily embraced the role of antagonist this week at Bethpage Black. The world No. 1 is winless once again and searching for answers at the Ryder Cup.

That, in turn, sums up the plight for both teams with Rory McIlroy (3-0-1) leading the Europeans to a commanding, and historically insurmountable, 11 ½-to-4 ½ lead while Scottie Scheffler (0-4-0) has struggled with his ball-striking, his putting and has been completely shutout.

Scheffler had four birdies paired with Bryson DeChambeau in Saturday’s afternoon fourball match, but they were outclassed by Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, 3 and 2, and Scheffler is now winless in his last eight Ryder Cup matches dating to 2023 in Rome.

“Bryson and I did some good stuff out there. We were into a tough matchup today. Those guys played great. They made a ton of putts and really tip of a cap to them. They played better than we did,†Scheffler said. “Bryson did a great job battling all day. Did a really good job keeping us in the match, but overall just didn’t do enough, and they played great.â€

Scheffler and Russell Henley dropped Friday’s opening foursomes match, 5 and 3, to Ludvig Åberg and Matt Fitzpatrick, and he then lost his afternoon fourball match with J.J. Spaun, 3 and 2, to Jon Rahm and Sepp Straka. It was a similar story Saturday morning in foursomes play with a 1-up loss paired with Henley against Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland.

Scheffler became the fourth American to lose four matches in a single Ryder Cup on home soil along with Steve Stricker (2012), Raymond Floyd (’83) and Fuzzy Zoeller (’79). No U.S. player has ever lost five matches in a single Ryder Cup.

This week’s matches have offered divergent paths for the world Nos. 1 and 2 but the luck of the draw has them on a strangely fitting collision course with Scheffler and McIlroy set to face each other in Sunday’s fourth singles match, which is scheduled to begin at 12:35 p.m. ET.

Europe has a record advantage through two days of the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, leading the U.S. by seven points, 11 1/2 to 4 1/2.

After four sessions of team play, the two sides will compete in 12 singles matches on Sunday. Europe needs only two-and-a-half points to retain the cup and three points to become the first road team to win since it did so in the “Miracle at Medinah†in 2012.

That year, Europe overcame a four-point deficit on Sunday to prevail, just as the U.S. did at Brookline in 1999. Those mark the largest final-day comebacks in cup history.

The largest margin of victory since Europe joined the biennial competition in 1979 is 10 points, when the U.S. won, 19-9, at Whistling Straits in 2021.
