Overview

• Viktor Hovland withdrew Sunday with a neck injury at Bethpage Black, triggering the envelope procedure for singles.
• Harris English was the U.S. name in the envelope and sat out, with that match recorded as a tied half point.
• Europe won the Ryder Cup 15-13, and Golfweek noted the U.S. would still have lost even if English had earned a full point.
• U.S. captain Keegan Bradley said the rule "has to change" before 2027, offering no specific replacement plan.
• European captain Luke Donald cited the longstanding captains' agreement and past uses in 1991 and 1993, and no formal change has been announced.
