FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — This Ryder Cup is all over but the shouting, and there’s been plenty of that from boorish fans at Bethpage Black.

There have been four sessions at the 45th Ryder Cup, and the U.S. has lost all of them. The fans on Saturday ratcheted up the invective on the European players, but they did not waver. The score is 11½ to 4½. And here’s some context for those numbers: the largest Sunday rally in Cup history is four points, a deficit erased by the 1999 U.S. team and the 2012 European team.

The current deficit is seven points, which likely makes Sunday’s matches ceremonial in nature, given that the U.S. team needs something that would be considered beyond a miracle.

But the show goes on. And Match 4 carries particular interest, as via luck of the draw Scottie Scheffler, 0–4 this week, will face Rory McIlroy.

Here are the pairings for the Sunday singles matches.
