Previously, the largest lead before the singles matches was 11–5.
In order for the Americans to be able to win, they must get together 14.5 points. At the final score of 14–14, Europe will retain the trophy as the reigning champion.
Before Saturday evening's best balls, Europe led 8.5–3.5 against the USA in the classic team competition Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black outside New York.
Swede Ludvig Åberg got to rest during Saturday's best balls. Earlier on Saturday, Åberg lost in pair with Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick clearly against Bryson DeChambeau/Cameron Young (2/4) in foursome.
The pair had shown top form during Friday's foursome game by beating world number one Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley with clear 5/3. Later on Friday, however, Åberg and Dane Rasmus Højgaard lost big against Cameron Young and Justin Thomas (5/6) in best ball.
Europe won the competition last time, in Rome two years ago. The last time there was a European victory on American soil was, however, 2012.
Ryder Cup ends with singles play on Sunday. Then all twelve players in the teams will play. Ludvig Åberg will meet Patrick Cantlay.
