FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- The bleeding continued for the U.S. team at the 45th Ryder Cup on Saturday, as the Americans lost three of four foursomes matches and trail the Europeans 8.5-3.5 in what is quickly becoming the "Bethpage Black Blowout."
For the third straight session, very little went right for the U.S. team, as only one of its three losses reached the 17th hole.
Barring a miraculous comeback, the U.S. team is in danger of losing the Ryder Cup for the 11th time in the past 15 matches and falling to the Europeans on American soil for the first time since 2012.
Europe is only the second road team that won each of the first three sessions of a Ryder Cup.
