Ryder Cup Best Bets: Sunday Singles
Brooks Koepka +105 Over Ludvig Aberg (Tie Loses | FanDuel)
Tee Time: 6:47 a.m. ET
Jason Sobel: If we’ve learned anything over the first two days of the Ryder Cup — and trust me, we’ve learned a whole lot of things — it’s that form is fleeting, especially in a competition fueled by emotion and momentum.
Patrick Cantlay was seemingly invisible on Friday, then he almost single-handedly took down previously undefeated Rory McIlroy in Saturday four-balls. Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka appeared up for the challenge on the first day, only to get boat-raced the next morning.
It’s difficult to convince ourselves to fade those who played well on Saturday, but I believe we have to think in those terms to find some value on Sunday. That’s going to force us to hold our nose and play a few ‘dogs.
I don’t mind taking a chance on Rose (over Cantlay), Harman (over Hatton), Straka (over Thomas), Højgaard (over Schauffele) and MacIntyre (over Clark), all at plus-money odds.
The one I can’t leave alone, though, is the five-time major winner in Koepka over a guy who’s never even played a major in Ludvig Aberg. Don’t get me wrong: I think Aberg is a massive talent who — like Rahm years ago — could be among the top 10 in the world within a year of turning pro.
I also know he was half of the duo which kicked Koepka’s butt Saturday morning, but I’m willing to make a play on the 23-year-old being mentally and emotionally drained for the final session, while Koepka feels more comfortable as a lone wolf without a partner.
It hasn’t been a good week for Koepka — on or off the golf course — but this match offers one final opportunity to back up his bravado.

Sam Burns +210 Over Rory McIlroy (Tie Loses | FanDuel)
Tee Time: 6:11 a.m. ET
Chris Murphy: The biggest story going into Sunday was the explosion off the course after Saturday four-balls ended as Rory McIlroy took issue to the way Patrick Cantlay’s caddie, Joe LaCava, handled the closing moments of their match. It was a rare sight to see McIlroy get that fired up, and there is no doubt that the tension will carry into the final round.
The thing about McIlroy is he doesn’t always handle high-pressure situations that well on the course, and while there is certainly a chance he goes scorched earth in this matchup, these odds are just too juicy to ignore this year’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play champion in Sam Burns.
Burns has been one of the better players this week for Team USA, which made it even more surprising that he didn’t play more over the first two days as his putter showed flashes of what we have come to know from him on the greens.
I’ll take my chance with long odds that his putter stays hot, and if he can get off to a fast start, there may be a chance he can get McIlroy off of his game early.

Max Homa -125 Over Matt Fitzpatrick (Tie No Bet | bet365)
Tee Time: 6:23 a.m. ET
Spencer Aguiar: If any situation has ever presented an opportunity for the Ryder Cup to adopt the way the Presidents Cup determines singles matchups instead of a pre-submitted lineup that generates blind pairings, it would have been this week with all the entertaining battles we could have gotten on Sunday (Jason Sobel wrote on this and a few other ideas on how to improve the Ryder Cup earlier this week.).
I'm on my own island here because Justin Thomas has not looked great over his handful of matchups (I mostly blame Spieth for leaving him on an island and forcing his hand.). Nonetheless, Thomas against Rory McIlroy would have been must-watch television for however long it did last because of Thomas' volatile passion that oftentimes can be contagious throughout the venue and crowd.
Obviously, that goes without mentioning the elephant in the room of what a Cantlay/LaCava pairing versus the McIlroy may have produced Sunday, but all was for naught after we got 12 mostly quiet selections that left a lot to be desired.
Nonetheless, I'll double-down on a wager involving Max Homa since I didn't get as much down on him pre-contest to be the 'High Scoring American.'
Homa was someone I had noted that I was backing at 11/1 after he graded first in my model out of the 24 players this week with all of his statistical numbers that fit Marco Simone. In a normal situation, I would have placed a larger wager at the start because of the edge I had on the surface, but as has been the case for this hard-to-follow event, we played a complete guessing game as to what these captains would pull daily and cautiously approached the board.
It is hard to complain because an outright win will be locked up if Homa can capture a full point tomorrow. However, none of that takes away from the 25% win exposure total I took on pre-event versus what I normally would wager.
I'll ride with my favorite option this week for one more day against a quality opponent in Matt Fitzpatrick at -125 on the two-way moneyline. That would be enough to turn an otherwise forgettable Ryder Cup into a profitable one if Homa can get himself across the finish line.
I will go a little larger than usual and bet 1.50 units on Homa over Fitzpatrick to win 1.25 units.
