Throb · Sat Sep 23, 2006 9:34 pm GOLF: Dominant Europe extend Ryder lead

Europe go into Sunday's singles at the K Club as clear favourites to claim an unprecedented third consecutive Ryder Cup victory over the United States.
Ian Woosnam's team will take a 10-6 lead into the final day's singles after a second day of superb pairs golf at the County Kildare course.

They need 4½ points from 12 matches to win outright, although four points would be enough to retain the trophy.

The US team will look to bounce back after losing all four sessions so far.

Europe have not lost the contest since 1999 at Brookline, when they held a similar advantage going into the final day.
