FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Despite a furious rally by an American team that had been historically terrible for the first two days on home soil, Europe has officially won the 45th Ryder Cup.
Ireland’s Shane Lowry birdied the 18th hole to tie his match against Russell Henley at Bethpage Black, earning the clinching half-point. Europe only needed 14 of the 28 available points to retain the Cup, having won two years ago in Rome.
