CHASKA, Minn. -- The Latest on the Ryder Cup (all times local):6:20 p.m.Europe will have to come back from a big deficit in Sundays singles to hold on to the Ryder Cup once again.Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reid finished off the last match of the day on the 17th green to cap a good afternoon for the U.S. team and give the Americans a 9 1/2-6 1/2 lead going into the final singles matches.The U.S. team won three of the afternoon four ball matches, helped in one when Lee Westwood missed a short putt on the 18th hole that would have given he and Danny Willett a half in their match against J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore.Europe has won the last three Ryder Cups, including a 2012 win in Chicago when the U.S. led 10-6 going into the singles play.The Europeans would need to win 7 1/2 points in the 12 singles matches to retain the cup.----6 p.m.The U.S. team gave up the first point of the afternoon, but turned stingy in a hurry.Phil Mickelson, playing with Matt Kuchar, got the point back by rolling in a short birdie putt at the 17th to close out a 2-and-1 win over Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer. Soon after, Lee Westwood missed a short birdie putt at No. 18 that would have enabled the Englishman and Danny Willett to gain a halve in their match against J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore.The U.S. led 8 1/2-6 1/2 with Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth 3-up over Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson and assured of at least a half point in that match.---5:10 p.m.Rory McIlroy got the best of a heckler, then paired with rookie Thomas Pieters to do the same to the U.S. duo of Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson, giving Europe the first point of the afternoon four-ball session.Pieters sealed the 3-and-1 win with a short birdie putt. It was McIlroys third consecutive match win and drew Europe even at 6 1/2-6 1/2.Earlier, he got into an exchange with a fan between the seventh green and eighth tee. After officials came over and McIlroy identified him, the fan was removed from the grounds.---3:10 p.m.Patrick Reed has been one of the stars of the show for the Americans so far at this Ryder Cup.Playing again with Jordan Spieth, Reed hit one of the best shots of the tournament to give the duo a 1-up lead at the one-third mark of their four-ball match against European power couple Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson.Reed dropped his approach onto the sixth green just right. The ball rolled back perfectly and plopped into the cup for an eagle and a second straight hole won for the U.S. pair.Reed erupted in celebration, pointing a double-arm pump at the crowd behind the ropes and exchanging hard hand slaps and fist bumps with his partner and their caddies.Further up the scoreboard, Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters have taken a commanding lead in their best-ball battle with Americans Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson. McIlroy and Peters were four holes ahead at the midway mark, as the European tandem took the turn for the back nine.---1:55 p.m.All four of the afternoon four-ball matches are underway. The Europeans own an early edge in the first match with Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters taking a 2-up lead to the No. 6 hole over Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson.What happened on the fifth hole was hard to believe.Koepka hit a drive off the tee that strayed to the left into the rough, bounced once and onto the back of a spectator standing just inside the ropes. The ball astoundingly stayed stuck there, lodging between the mans back and the top of his backpack.The story only got stranger from there. The mans identity? None other than the father of Pieters, according to the NBC announcers.Koepka had to take a drop, and the Americans were able to make birdie on the par-4.---12:30 p.m.Team Europe has crept closer on the strength of a furious Spaniard rally to finish foursome play.Fellow countrymen Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello halved their match with Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth, and Team USA has a slim 6+ to 5+ lead entering the afternoon four-ball matches.The Reed-Spieth tandem took a four-hole lead to the 13th tee box, before posting three straight bogeys. They squared the 18th hole to preserve the tie, but the Europeans won two of the other three matches to put the pressure on the Americans for the next session.---12:10 p.m.Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed will play all five matches for the Americans. Thats a departure from the last time Davis Love III was captain and made sure everyone sat out at least one match.Love also broke up the Brandt Snedeker-Brooks Koepka tandem after they were undefeated in two matches.Koepka and Dustin Johnson will take on Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters, who are 2-0 in their matches.J.B. Holmes and Ryan Moore will go up against Danny Willett and Lee Westwood, a match with four players who have yet to contribute a point.Phil Mickelson is going back out in the afternoon, teaming with Matt Kuchar against Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer.Spieth and Reed face Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose, a rematch from fourballs Friday that the Europeans won.Rose, Stenson, McIlroy, Pieters and Garcia will be playing all five matches for Europe.---11:55 a.m.With Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth posting birdies on five of the first seven holes for the Americans in the fourth foursome match of the morning, Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello were forced to play catch-up from the second hole on.The highlight for the Spaniard duo came on the fifth hole. Garcias tee shot sailed into the crowd -- and landed square in one of the course marshals pockets.Garcia and his human hazard shared a laugh, and the Europeans still managed to make birdie.But the Reed-Spieth duo, which vanquished the formidable European pairing of Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson with a 3-and-2 victory on Friday, still held a 2-up lead with three holes to go.---11:25 a.m.Rory McIlroy finally got a victory over Phil Mickelson.Mickelson had never lost any of three Ryder Cup matches he played against McIlroy, but Lefty didnt have much of a chance Saturday morning in foursomes. McIlroy and Thomas Pieters won three of the opening five holes. McIlroy said he wanted to win even more because Mickelson had his number.The American got within 1 down with four holes to play until Fowler missed too many key putts.McIlroy says he and Pieters were never meant to play foursomes, never practiced together and even flipped to see who would tee off on which holes. It worked. They are undefeated in two matches.----10:45 a.m.The Americans are leading 2-0 when it comes to shanks.Rickie Fowler was in a back bunker on the par-3 fourth hole when he shanked it through the green and into the rough. Fowler and Phil Mickelson lost that hole with a bogey and fell 2 down to Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters. Europe was 1 up through 13.Brooks Koepka shanked one from the left rough across the 11th fairway. He and Brandt Snedeker were all square with Henrik Stenson and Matt Fitzpatrick.One thing was clear: The foursome sessions were a lot tighter than when the Americans went 4-0 on Friday.---10:35 a.m.Rory McIlroy and Thomas Pieters are trying to ride their Ryder Cup momentum.McIlroy took a bow when the opening day ended Friday, winning a big point that allowed Europe to crawl back to a 5-3 deficit against the Americans. They went right back out Saturday morning against Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson and have led the entire way. They were 1 up through 12 holes.There probably was not going to be another American sweep in foursomes.Halfway through the sessions, the Americans were up in one match, trailed two others and were tied in the fourth one. Fourballs in the afternoon were to follow, with everything pointing toward Sunday singles to decide the Ryder Cup. Wholesale NBA Jerseys .

Kansas States Bill Snyder let a slight chuckle when asked if playing a season opener at No. 8 Stanford was the sign of a change in scheduling philosophy for the veteran coach.Well, not in mine, Snyder said Monday. But its kind of the nature of the conference wanting everybody to play Power Five conference schools. So weve fallen in line with that.The Wildcats are one of three Big 12 teams opening against a top-15 opponent, making the smallest of the Power Five leagues the only one with so many high-ranked non-conference openers. K-States opener is Friday night, with third-ranked Oklahoma against No. 15 Houston in the home stadium of the NFLs Texans on Saturday, and Texas at home Sunday night against No. 10 Notre Dame.Plus, West Virginia is home against SEC member Missouri, a former Big 12 team.Its a high-profile game. Theres a lot of high-profile games here this weekend, and I think thats where college football is headed, Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen said during the first Big 12 coaches teleconference. Were going to continue to do that kind of scheduling here. And hopefully everyone else does that kind of scheduling as well.The Big 12 late last year said its teams would be required to play at least one non-conference game each season against a team from one of the other Power Five leagues (ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC) or Notre Dame, though the requirement didnt affect existing non-conference game contracts at the time. Still, No. 23 Baylor and Kansas are the only Big 12 teams that wont play against one of the peer conferences this season.Kansas State is playing a true road non-conference game against a Power Five school for only the seventh time since 1989, Snyders first season with the Wildcats in a tenure that included a three-season gap (2006-08) when he retired before returning to coach again. Stanford is the highest-ranked non-conference opponent K-State has ever played in a season-opening road game.My only issue with it is the fact that in all reality, you dont get to play all the youngerr guys that you have.ddddddddddddWere a program thats going to need every guy weve got, Snyder said. When you play a team like Stanford, in all reality, thats not going to take place.Some other notes from the first Big 12 teleconference of the season:- Oklahoma is the overwhelming favorite to win its 10th Big 12 title after last season becoming the leagues first team to make it to the four-team College Football Playoff.But is there any added motivation for the Sooners after losing 37-17 to Clemson in one of the national semifinals?Thats a long time ago, man, were on to 2016, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. You want to win them all. Thats what you try to do at Oklahoma.- While Texas Tech has lost its top rusher (DeAndre Washington, 1,492 yards and 14 TDs) and top receiver from a year ago (Jakeem Grant, 1268 yards and 10 TDs), coach Kliff Kingsbury sounds confident about the skill players that will be around quarterback Patrick Mahomes.Kingsbury said junior running back Justin Stockton (five TDs on 61 carries last season) is an explosive back. And he said hes got the most depth at receiver hes ever had as a play-caller with some talented youngsters looking to show what they can do.- Snyder announced Jesse Ertz as K-States quarterback after a three-man race in preseason camp, but Texas coach Charlie Strong and Kansas coach David Beaty wouldnt say who would take the first snaps in their openers.Strong said he knows will start for the Longhorns, but isnt saying yet if it will be freshman Shane Buechele or senior Tyrone Swoopes. Strong said both will play against Notre Dame.At Kansas, sophomore Ryan Willis started eight games as a true freshman last season after taking over when Montell Cozart got hurt. Beaty said Monday that the Jayhawks are still in competition mode with those guys and the starter would be revealed when one of them runs out on the field against Rhode Island.
