Ryder Cup Matches Play Explained
All games are played
under Match Play rules, where the result of each game is determined by
the number of holes won. The order of play for the first two days is
Foursomes in the morning and Fourball in the afternoon. The final day's
play will be in Singles format.
Fourball (four
groups of two two-man teams) - "Fourball" play is a match in which
each member of the two-man teams plays their own ball. Four balls are in
play per hole with each of the four players competing. The team whose
player has the lowest score on that hole wins the hole. Should players
from each team tie for the best score, the hole is halved.
Foursomes (four
groups of two two-man teams) -
"Foursomes" play is a match where two golfers play together
against two other golfers and each team plays one ball. The golfers play
alternate shots (player A hits tee shot, player B hits second shot, etc)
until the hole is played out. Team members alternate playing the tee
shots, with one golfer hitting the tee shot on odd-numbered holes, and
the other hitting the tee shot on the even-numbered holes. The team with
the better score wins the hole. Should the two teams tie for best score,
the hole is halved.
Singles (12 groups
of two one-man teams) -
"Singles" is a match in which one player competes against
another player. A player wins the match when he is up by more holes than
there are holes remaining to play.
Pairings -
Each
Team Captain independently submits the order of play for his Team to the
appointed tournament official. The lists from each Captain are matched,
resulting in the "Pairings". Please note that the players in pairings
can be modified by the Team Captains only if a player is ill or injured.
Pairings are subject to change and should not be considered final until
play begins for a particular match
