Team Europe Dominate Early, Withstand American Surge
Team Europe won a dramatic 15-13 Ryder Cup over the USA, their first away victory since the 2012 Medinah Miracle.
Captain Luke Donald’s team dominated early, winning all four sessions to build an 11.5–4.5 lead, Europe’s largest final-day advantage.
Viktor Hovland withdrew with a neck injury, and his match with Harris English was tied, edging Team Europe closer to retention. American hopes soared with a fierce Sunday comeback, winning five of seven matches and tying another, threatening a historic turnaround.
Lowry and Hatton Seal Victory in Tense Final Stretch
Under pressure, Ludvig Åberg secured a vital win over Patrick Cantlay, earning Team Europe their first full point of Sunday’s matches. Shane Lowry sank a clutch final-hole birdie to halve with Russell Henley, securing the half-point needed to retain Europe’s trophy. Moments later, Tyrrell Hatton’s tie against Collin Morikawa sealed the 14.5 points required for an outright European victory.
An emotional Lowry reflected on the moment:
“I was nervous but I felt like this is where I belong… This is the best day ever.”
Hatton admitted the pressure overwhelmed him:
“Selfishly, I was really hoping it wouldn’t come down to me. The last few holes were horrible to play through.”
Rory McIlroy, who endured constant heckling from the New York crowd, summed up the team’s spirit in the post-match press conference:
“It was a rough week for all of us. But at the same time, we shut them up by our performance.”
Team Europe’s resilience and unity under pressure helped them withstand America’s surge and secure a historic, memorable Ryder Cup win.
