Overview

• Europe beat the United States 15-13 at Bethpage Black for its first Ryder Cup victory on U.S. soil since 2012.
• U.S. captain Keegan Bradley praised Donald as the best European Ryder Cup captain of all time after the defeat.
• European players and fans chanted “two more years,” while Donald offered lines such as “I’m going to enjoy tonight” and “I don’t think my heart can take two more years,” later adding “no comment.”
• Europe entered singles with a record-sized lead in the 28-point era, then withstood a U.S. surge that produced 8½ points on Sunday.
• Speculation has turned to 2027 at Adare Manor, with tradition making repeat captains rare and Justin Rose mentioned as a potential alternative if Donald does not return.
