Team USA entered Sunday's Ryder Cup action in need of a miracle after getting steamrolled by Team Europe over the first two days of the international competition. And for a while, it looked like they might get one. The Americans won three of the first four singles matches on Sunday to give their side hope that a historic comeback could be underway.
But Shane Lowry slammed the door shut. Battling against Russell Henley, the Irish golfer birdied No. 18 to secure the last half-point Europe needed to clinch the Ryder Cup. Lowry's reaction to sinking the putt was incredibly emotional as he leaped all over the green at Bethpage Black, getting the celebration started immediately.
