MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) ? It's another big day for the Americans, who have a commanding 8-4 lead over Europe after winning all but one foursome Saturday.
It's the largest lead after three sessions for a U.S. team since the Ryder Cup expanded to include players from continental Europe in 1979. The Americans need 14? points to win the Ryder Cup.
Just as they did Friday, Keegan Bradley and Phil Mickleson led the U.S. rout. Their 7-and-6 thrashing of Lee Westwood and Luke Donald tied the mark for most lopsided score in an 18-hole team match. Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson beat Nicolas Colsaerts and Sergio Garcia 2-and-1.
The Americans closed the session with Brandt Snedeker and Jim Furyk's 1-up victory over Europe's top team, Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell.
Europe got its only point from ? who else? ? Ian Poulter and Justin Rose, a 1-up victory over Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson.
