It took a little while longer to secure than the home team would have liked, but the Ryder Cup is going back to Europe. Led by Viktor Hovland, Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy, the European squad thoroughly dominated their American counterparts through the first three sessions, then held off an American charge during Sunday's singles matches in Rome.
Tommy Fleetwood won the decisive half-point for Europe with multiple matches still remaining on the course. Europe needed to win 14½ points to claim the Cup, and came into Sunday needing just four points from 12 matches.
Captains Luke Donald of Europe and Zach Johnson of the United States each brought 12 of the finest golfers on the planet to Marco Simone Golf Club in Rome, teams comprised of major champions and untested rookies alike. Europe held control for almost the entirety of the tournament, but the United States found its footing for a moment on Sunday afternoon.
The United States, on the other hand, boasted a deep roster that included Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas. Scottie Scheffler, at that point, hadn’t even won a tournament, and he was the United States’ 12th man. The built-in advantage of playing a home match helped the European cause. Many of the Europeans have had success at Marco Simone during the Italian Open; Robert MacIntyre and Nicolai Hojgaard won it in recent years, and Fitzpatrick and Fleetwood have finished as runners-up.
