(CNN)After day two of the 43rd Ryder Cup, the US team is in an enviable position.

The American team lead their European visitors 11-5 at Whistling Straits, with just 12 singles matches to come on Sunday.

Following a dominant Friday, they won three of Saturday's foursomes, extending their lead to 9-3, the largest lead for either side after three sessions of the Ryder Cup since the US led by 7 points in 1975.
