Overview

• Shane Lowry holed a clutch birdie on 18 to tie Russell Henley and secure the half-point that clinched Europe’s retention, sealing a 15–13 result.
• Europe’s dominance in team sessions built an 11.5–4.5 lead after Saturday, including six points from eight available in the second day’s play.
• Viktor Hovland withdrew with a neck issue, triggering the Ryder Cup’s envelope rule that declared his singles match halved before play began.
• U.S. players mounted a late push in singles with wins by Cameron Young, Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, narrowing the gap but not overturning Europe’s lead.
• Event organizers increased security and police presence following abusive heckling and ejections, and first-tee MC Heather McMahan apologized and resigned after leading a profane chant at Rory McIlroy.
