The “Battering at Bethpage” The “Lorruping on Long Island” is. The “Nobbling in New York” series.

Given how dominant Europe was throughout the opening two days, it was long before Sunday’s Ryder Cup singles had even teed off in the headlines. seven points clear of them in the lead. 11½-4½. Only three points from each of the previous twelve games are required for victory.

No team ever won after coming back from behind by more than four points. A formal procedure for visitors?

Not that quickly. The Americans won a fight that will be discussed for a long time, but Ludvig Aberg, the only player to succeed, came out on top with a 15-13 victory.

As a result of Tyrrell Hatton’s participation in match 10, Europe reached the magic 141-point mark, becoming the fifth European nation to win an away game and the first to do so since 2012.

Given that he was one of two undefeated players this week, it was appropriate for the Englishman to earn the win. Shane Lowry was the other, who hacked the putt to make sure Europe would at least retain the trophy.

It is a success that cements Luke Donald’s reputation as a genuine Ryder Cup legend.

The Englishman became the second captain to help the team achieve home and away victories after masterminding the “Romp in Rome” in 2023. He also won all four Ryder Cups while playing for the Englishman.

To regain the trophy, the US needed ten points. No team had ever won more than 812% of its 12 singles matches.

And when Europe announced Viktor Hovland would not play because of a neck injury, their task was made a little more difficult. Each team receives a half point for each team that is excluded in accordance with Ryder Cup rules. 12-5 Europe.

Nobody could have imagined the drama that would come after Cam Young and Justin Rose made their first appearance on the first tee for the opening game.

Even the notoriously feisty New Yorkers were present to aspire rather than to fulfill their hopes. They were killed by it as a result.

Young, a rookie in the US team from New York, birdied the first to appear on the scoreboard.

But after five more points, Rose made a comeback. Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Rory McIlroy, and Aberg all led from behind him. Bethpage Blue was Bethpage Black.

The previous days’ scripts were followed. Europe was in complete control.

Then . Young won four of the previous seven holes to take third place. To lead Fleetwood, Justin Thomas won three straight holes. After falling to Fitzpatrick in five of the first seven, Bryson DeChambeau was whittling away.

As the ebbs and flows of a Ryder Cup Sunday sprang up with American cheers reverberating around this enormous plot of land, Aberg’s blue was taken off the scoreboard by Patrick Cantlay.

Sepp Straka sped quickly before being pushed back and overtaken by JJ Spaun. Russell Henley and Shane Lowry engaged in a fierce tussle, and Rasmus Hojgaard never won against Ben Griffin.

The finish line was visible during the initial matches. Rose fought back to defeat Young at last. A putt from 20 feet secured the Englishman’s at least the halfway point. He was absent. The youngest member of the US team, who was two feet closer, had defeated Europe’s older statesman, from two feet away. 12-6.

Xander Schauffele won four of the five holes on the back nine to take home the only real beating in the only other real match. 12-8.

The scoreboard was suddenly being looked at by European eyes to determine where the required 212 points would go.

One was provided by Aberg. Cantlay’s challenge was largely overshadowed by a par on the 17th. 13-8.

Fitzpatrick was driven and enthralled by DeChambeau’s drive and desire. A par on the 17th and a pair of par on the 14th and 15th were sufficient to send them down the final all-square. However, this time, Europe would only have a half-point and there would be no birdie this time. 13½-8½.

De Chambeau still giggling like he had won the Ryder Cup. The US team suddenly had faith that this was actually a possibility. Fans were undoubtedly invested. Occasionally, perhaps too much.

McIlroy once more caught their attention. The Northern Irishman has been subject to abuse all week, and Sunday saw barbs being slammed from the stands.

But he managed to collect a total of 31 points from four games while keeping his head. Scottie Scheffler, the world’s number one, had lost all four of his games on Sunday. A point was due to the American.

He delivered, too. As Scheffler put another point on the board, McClroy forced him to the 18th after admitting no player was at their best and forcing him to make a monster birdie try. 13½-9½.

A half from somewhere was still required in Europe. anywhere . However, there was no blue for the first time in three days.

In the final two matches of the course, Collin Morikawa and Sam Burns, respectively, engaged in dogfights with Robert MacIntyre and Collin Morikawa.

Straka was a winner of the US Open. 13½-10½.

Then there’s hope. Henley became the fifth team to go down 18 after Lowry birdied the 15th to reclaim their one-hole lead. With their second shots, both players found the green. Hennely placed first and failed. Lowry had a shot at winning the hole from eight feet, halfing the score, and retaining the trophy’s 14 points.

It sank. Lowry then exploded.

As he wheeled across the green while jigged, the emotion persisted. You could understand how much he was expressing his excitement as American fans began to descend on the course because he had been involved in numerous verbal altercations with the fans prior to his Saturday round with McIlroy. 14-11.

However, Europe was not there to tie things up and stay.

The final hole was also present in the final three matches. Hojgaard was held by Griffin. 14-12.

Hatton appeared to be the one, in my opinion. He and Morikawa were unable to separate themselves after his birdie on the 12th grade. The trophy would be awarded if the Englishman could match Morikawa’s 18th-century score.

The American’s protracted birdie missed. To win the Ryder Cup from 20 feet, Hatton made two putts. He attempted to tap-in with his birdie. Mikihiro rebuffed. The celebrations could start on time. 14½-12½.

With a par to win the final hole, Scotland’s MacIntyre rose up the standings to take the loss to Burns. 15-13.

The US’s record-breaking 8112 points in the singles were also attained thanks to it, which also meant that all the celebrations were blue.

After winning in Rome two years ago, McIlroy said they would win in Bethpage. Additionally, he added that “golf’s winning is the most challenging thing to do.”

Anthony McGill defeated Shaun Murphy 10-7 in the final to claim the first-ever British Open title.

On his way to winning the prize, the 2005 world champion broke eight 50-plus breaks before being pushed all the way by Scotland’s McGill.

Murphy, an England international, didn’t take the lead until the opening frame of the evening session, when he broke 78 to move 5-4 in front.

McGill, who is currently sitting in the 57th position in the world and making his first final appearance in eight years, was not dissuaded by the advantage loss.

He took a 73 break to take the lead, which gave him another 7-6 lead.

Murphy, however, increased the pressure, winning four frames straight for the first time in 26 months.

When you haven’t participated in a ranking final in a while… I was so happy that I had the opportunity to play my game when I needed it, Murphy said.

I’ve been watching people like [Judd] Trump, [Mark Selby, and [Neil] Robertson win numerous titles in a row, and I want to return to that level.

I just need to be more consistent because I still believe I am dangerous on my day, as I have shown this week. Tomorrow, I’ll return to the practice room.
