    That's already counted in the 14 points.

    Three matches out there. USA are ahead by one point in two matches and one is all square.

    @sparky sorry, I mis-read your post, thought you were saying the US could still take it.

    Morikawa and Hatton tie. Europe reach 14 1/2 and its mission accomplished. Their fifth win on American soil and their first for 13 years.

    Captain Luke Donald has done it again. Two in a row.

    But boy, did the Americans make that a stressful last few hours.

    37 becomes 47. That's the number of European golfers who have won the Ryder Cup in the US.

    Burns - MacIntyre finishes in a tie too.

    The final score of the 2025 Ryder Cup is Europe 15, USA 13.

    Never in doubt, suck on that losers!

    That injury half was pretty critical - lots tight games in the singles but USA seemed to get over the line in most of them.

    Utterly incredible that Americans got 8 points from a possible 11 available in Sunday's singles and still lost the contest overall

    Plenty of salty Yanks out there moaning about the 'draw' after the injury withdrawal on SM.

    Silly or not, it is what it is.

    Everyone concerned knew about the envelope rule in advance. It's been there, rightly or wrongly, since 1979.

    It was used in 1991 when the Americans won 14 1/2 to 13 1/2 to retake the Cup in the " war on the shore" in South Carolina.

    Who knows, if Viktor Hovland had been fit, that he wouldn't have won a full point.

    Even if a full point had gone to the Americans from his match, the European would have still won the 2025 Ryder Cup

    The main reason the Americans lost this contest was that they got smashed in the foursomes and the fourballs on Friday and Saturday. Their post mortem should start and end with that.

    foursomes have been proven to be the big difference in who wins the ryder cup over the years. Theres some really strange stats there and its usually very much the hosts that the stat favours. Not this year

    The Yanks seem to be every bit the flat track bullies. So many big names but most found wanting

    Well not on the final day in the individual matchups. I was quite impressed how they managed to play their way back into it.

    As a team and as pairs on the course, they sucked.

    I dont think this was a strong US team and everything apart from it being played in NY, pointed to a Europe win

    Probably didn't help that Bradley was non-playing captain, but has been in better form than much of the team
