Tommy Fleetwood finally secured the final half-point his side needed to claim a deserved victory.
Gavin Cooney Europe 16.5 USA 11.5 EUROPE HAVE RECLAIMED the Ryder Cup, avenging but not matching their 19-9 hammering at Whistling Straits two years ago.
“This is a dream come true for me, it’s something I always wanted to achieve”, said Lowry afterwards. “I am so proud of my team. It has been the greatest week of my life. Those last two hours were the most stressful two hours of my life, I could see it wasn’t going too well for us. Me and Tommy joked this morning that hopefully it doesn’t come down to us, but thankfully Tommy did the business.”
Scheffler won two in a row, making birdie on 15. Rahm, however, took it all the way to 18th, where again he delivered: Scheffler overcooked a chip from the front-right to a back-left pin, with Rahm lagging a gorgeous eagle putt to the brim of the hole. Scheffler then had to chip in from a slope facing into the water but couldn’t seal the deal, allowing his one-hole lead slip for a tied match.
Homa, America’s best performer, inexplicably followed Fitzpatrick into the water on 16, and when that and the 17th were halved, Homa had to take it down the par-five 18th to extend the contest. He blew way right on the fairway, took a penalty drop with his ball buried in a thicket of rough, and chipped to within range to get up and down. Fitzpatrick, however, had a putt to make birdie and tie the match, but agonisingly saw his putt slide past the hole.
Europe wobbled. Tommy Fleetwood saw a 2-UP lead over Rickie Fowler cut to one on 14 and the missed a sitter to restore it on the very next hole, with Fowler holding his nerve to tie the hole. Robert MacInytre collapsed: squandering his 3-UP lead by missing a five-footer to allow Wyndham Clark get the match back to all-square.
But it was back on 16 where all was settled. Fowler stood on the tee at the drivable par-four and hooked the ball into the water, meaning Fleetwood had the chance to go 2-UP with two to play, thus securing the tie and half-point needed to win the Cup.
