Europe has won the Ryder Cup 15-13 at Bethpage Black in the United States, securing their second consecutive win against Team USA.

Over the first two days, Team Europe dominated, ending Saturday with the score at 11.5-4.5.

On Sunday morning, Norway’s Viktor Hovland was forced to withdraw from the singles matches, invoking the envelope rule, which saw US Harris English sit out. The Ryder Cup’s envelope rule involves each captain submitting one player’s name before the singles matches, meaning that player won’t compete should a player from the opposing team withdraw at the last minute.

Team USA won the first two singles matches, setting the pace for the rest of the day. The Americans were able to close the gap, allowing Europe only one outright match win on Sunday day.

Ireland’s Shane Lowry secured an important half-point for Europe, birdying three of the last four holes, with a final putt that secured at least a 14-14 score. Falling short on his 10-foot birdie putt on the last hole, USA’s Russell Henley lost his 1-up lead.

Tyrrell Hatton secured a half-point in the penultimate match that Europe needed to win outright.

Team Europe’s Captain Luke Donald said post-tournament that the last 12 hours had been the most stressful of his life.

“This means a lot to me and the team,” he said.

“I couldn’t be more proud of these guys and what they have done through, how they have come together, how they are playing for history, how they are playing for the people that came before them, and now they’ll be talked [of] for generations that will go down in history.”
