Europe Secures 15-13 Ryder Cup Victory on U.S. Soil, First Away Win Since 2012

FARMINGDALE, New York – Team Europe clinched the 2025 Ryder Cup with a 15-13 victory over the United States at the Bethpage Black Course, marking their first win on American soil since 2012. Despite a valiant Sunday singles comeback attempt by the U.S. squad, Europe successfully held onto their commanding lead established over the first two days of play. The Wall Street Journal noted the U.S. team's strong Sunday performance, stating, "The U.S. lost just one of Sunday’s Ryder Cup singles matches. But it proved too little as Europe took the Cup on U.S. soil for the first time since 2012."

Europe entered the final day with a substantial 11.5-4.5 advantage, needing only 2.5 points from the 12 singles matches to retain the trophy. The U.S. team, however, mounted a fierce challenge, winning seven of the 12 singles matches outright and securing an additional 1.5 points from two tied matches and a half-point due to Viktor Hovland's injury withdrawal, which resulted in a tied match against Harris English. This dramatic rally narrowed the margin significantly, creating intense suspense as the final matches concluded.

The decisive moments unfolded late in the afternoon. Shane Lowry secured a crucial half-point on the 18th hole against Russell Henley, ensuring Europe would at least retain the Cup. Shortly thereafter, Tyrrell Hatton clinched another half-point against Collin Morikawa, sealing Europe's outright 15-13 victory. Ludvig Åberg delivered Europe's only full point in the singles, defeating Patrick Cantlay 2&1.

This victory marks a significant achievement for Team Europe, ending a 13-year drought for an away win and echoing their memorable 2012 triumph at Medinah. European Captain Luke Donald expressed immense pride in his team, stating, "It's been the most stressful 12 hours in my life. I couldn't be more proud of these guys and what they have done through, how they have come together, how they are playing for history." U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley acknowledged Europe's superior play, remarking, "They played better than us. They deserved to win. They're a great team."
