Colin Montgomerie, 43, is playing in his eighth Ryder Cup

With the defending champions needing just four points to retain their title against the US, he faces David Toms in the opening match at the K Club.

The in-form Sergio Garcia and Paul Casey are next up, against Stewart Cink and Jim Furyk respectively.

Robert Karlsson plays Tiger Woods, while Ireland's Padraig Harrington meets Scott Verplank in the final game.

Statement: Tom Lehman on his singles line-up

Garcia has won four out of four matches in this year's contest, while Casey claimed a hole-in-one during his foursomes victory on Saturday.

Europe are refusing to be over-confident despite holding a 10-6 lead after two days of play.

RYDER CUP BLOG Memories of the Sunday singles massacre in 1999 are still pretty raw for the European golf fan BBC Sport's Matt Slater at the K Club Ryder Cup blog: Have your say

"There is not one iota of complacency here," insisted Montgomerie. "We want to go out and win the singles to win all five sessions for the first time in Ryder Cup history."

Europe captain Ian Woosnam echoed Montgomerie's sentiment, saying: "The Americans have always been strong in singles.

"I would have stood here very happy with 9� points. I have got 10. We came here as a team, we are still playing as a team and that's how we intend to play tomorrow.

"I think it'll be the highlight of my career if we win."

United States captain Tom Lehman is refusing to concede defeat despite the size of the task facing his side.

"My team does not feel this is over by any stretch of the imagination," he said.

It's imperative we get off to a quick start like in '99 Tiger Woods

"I know that our team has a chance. I know we have the ability to get the job done.

"I have a feeling that our team is going to play incredibly inspired golf, are going to make our wives and our country proud and are going to give it their best."

Tiger Woods is hoping the Americans can take inspiration from their victory at Brookline in 1999, when they also went into the singles trailing 10-6.

"It's imperative we get off to a quick start like we did in '99," said the world number one.

"The Europeans are playing great and we need to go out there and beat them. They're not going to give it to us."
