"Europe has retained the Ryder Cup after fending off a stirring Team USA fightback at Bethpage Black on Sunday afternoon. Shane Lowry held his nerve to drain a six-foot putt on the 18th to halve his back-and-forth against Russell Henley and secure the all-important 14th point for Europe on a day that saw America restore some pride after a disastrous opening two days that saw them lose all four sessions and trail 11.5-4.5 going into the final day."
"The Americans, propelled by a stirring Byrson DeChambeau performance that saw him claw back a five-hole deficit to tie his match against Matt Fitzpatrick, gave it an almighty shot, with Cameron Young and Justin Thomas both sinking massive putts on the 18th to seal 1UP victories against Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, respectively. DeChambeau's match was the American Ryder Cup in a microcosm, however."

Europe entered the final day with an unprecedented seven-point lead following dominant play across the first two days. Team USA rallied strongly on Sunday, with Bryson DeChambeau clawing back a five-hole deficit to tie his match and Cameron Young and Justin Thomas sinking 18th-hole putts to win.
