The Ryder Cup will conduct a random drawing for a chance to purchase tickets for the 2016 matches at Hazeltine National in Chaska, the PGA of America announced Monday.

Fans can register at RyderCup.com through Sept. 30. Ticket purchasers will be selected by mid-October, and assigned a window of time during which they can buy tickets for the competition.

Five ticket options are available, including single-session and all-session passes and packages that include special amenities.

A maximum of two weekly tickets or four daily match round tickets per person can be purchased. Up to four practice round tickets for each day may be purchased as well.

Full details are available at RyderCup.com.

Saints hold on

Vinny DiFazio homered and drove in four runs and Kramer Sneed allowed two unearned runs in eight inings for the host Saints in a 5-4 victory over the Central Division-leading Sioux City Explorers. The Saints improved to 25-5.
