Important Facts
The Ryder Cup is composed by match plays including foursomes (two-man teams in alternate shot), fourball (two-man teams in better ball) and singles (18 holes at match play). The order of play during the first two days of competition is determined through mutual agreement of both teams' captains. During the Ryder Cup there are a total of 28 matches.
During the Ryder Cup, when a team is up by more holes than there are holes remaining, then the match is closed out and a point is awarded. One point is awarded for each match won, the score is kept by the number of holes up (won) and the number of holes to play. (U.S. 2-up, with six holes to play)
If the match is tied through 18 holes of play each team receives one half of a point. A total of 28 points are awarded in Ryder Cup competition. If a match is currently tied while in competition, then it is considered all-square.
