Overview

• Europe prevailed 15–13 despite the United States taking 8.5 of 12 Sunday singles to cut into a seven‑point deficit.
• Shane Lowry secured the decisive half‑point by halving Russell Henley with a short putt on the 18th, pushing Europe to the 14 points needed to keep the Cup.
• Europe led 11.5–4.5 after Saturday; Viktor Hovland’s neck withdrawal invoked the Envelope Rule versus Harris English, awarding 0.5 point to each side before singles.
• Ludvig Aberg earned Europe’s lone singles win by defeating Patrick Cantlay, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler edged Rory McIlroy and several Europeans salvaged halves.
• A charged atmosphere drew criticism as entertainer Heather McMahan resigned after a megaphone taunt at McIlroy, security responded to abusive incidents, and captain Luke Donald received widespread praise while leaving his 2027 role undecided.
