Team Europe has once again asserted its dominance in the Ryder Cup, retaining the trophy at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York. This marks their 16th overall title and their first victory on foreign soil since the "Miracle at Medinah" in 2012. The final score was 15-13, a testament to the fierce competition and the resilience of both teams.

The Europeans entered the final day with a commanding 11.5 to 4.5 lead, needing just 2 points to retain the cup. However, the Americans mounted a spirited comeback in Sunday's singles matches, threatening to pull off what would have been the greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history. The U.S. team won 6, tied 1, and lost 5 of the 12 singles matches.

Key moments on Sunday included Cameron Young's victory in the opening match against Justin Rose. Other American victories came from Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and J.J. Spaun. However, Europe managed to stem the tide with crucial wins and ties. Ludvig Aberg secured a vital win against Patrick Cantlay. Matt Fitzpatrick halved his match with Bryson DeChambeau.

The decisive moment came when Shane Lowry tied his match against Russell Henley, securing the 14th point needed for Europe to retain the Ryder Cup. A further tie between Tyrrell Hatton and Collin Morikawa sealed the outright victory for Europe. Robert MacIntyre's tie against Sam Burns further solidified the European win.

Viktor Hovland was scratched from his match due to a neck injury before the start of Day 3, resulting in his match against Harris English being declared a tie, awarding a half-point to each team.

Despite the strong American showing on Sunday, Europe's dominance in the earlier sessions proved too much to overcome. Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy, who had been a formidable duo for Europe throughout the first two days, both lost their Sunday singles matches. However, other European players stepped up to ensure the victory.

With this victory, Luke Donald joins Tony Jacklin as only the second European captain to win the Ryder Cup both at home and away. This win marks Europe's eighth victory in the last eleven Ryder Cups, underscoring their consistent strength in team golf. The United States has only managed to secure the trophy in 2008, 2016 and 2021 in that span. The 2025 Ryder Cup will be remembered for Europe's impressive display of teamwork and composure, as well as the United States' valiant, but ultimately unsuccessful, comeback attempt.
