For example, if a player is 3-up with three holes to play, his opponent is considered dormie. The leading player in that scenario can do no worse than halve the match and needs only to halve or win one more hole to clinch victory.Captains pick: Each team has a set number of players (eight for Team USA, nine for Team Europe) who automatically qualify via a points system. The remaining spots on each 12-man roster were filled by captains picks.Conceded: At any point in a match, a player or pairing can concede a shot or hole to the opponent. This typically happens on the putting greens, when players assume their opponent will make a 2-foot putt. Its often a source of gamesmanship between opposing teams as to which putts are conceded and which are not.Four-ball matches: Each of the two players per team plays his own ball, with the low score on each side counting for the hole. Using match-play scoring, the best score wins the hole, and a tie halves the hole.Foursomes matches: This is more widely known as alternate shot. One player per team tees off, and his partner takes the second shot. Partners continue alternating shots until the hole is completed or conceded, using match-play scoring. Partners also alternate tee shots as they move from hole to hole.Halving: When both teams register the same score on a hole in match play. It also pertains to when a match is tied after 18 holes, which results in half a point for each side.Singles: There are 12 singles matches of head-to-head match-play competition. If tied after 18 holes, each side earns half a point.What else should you know?? Ryder Cup players and captains dont get paid.

From the Ryder Cups inception in 1927 until 1971, it was the United States vs. Great Britain. It was the U.S. vs. Great Britain/Ireland in 1973, 75 and 77, before it changed to the current format of Team USA ?vs. Team Europe in 1979.? Europe has won three consecutive Ryder Cups and six of the past seven. The most recent American victory was in 2008 at Valhalla in Louisville, Kentucky. That is the only U.S. victory this century and the first since 1999.? Team USA has an overall Ryder Cup record of 25-13-2. Europe, however, holds a 10-4-1 advantage dating to 1985.?
