Europe retained the Ryder Cup after late rallies from Shane Lowry and Tyrell Hatton put an end to a spirited and near unprecedented USA fightback at Bethpage Black before tensions spilled over as Europe’s stars reacted to the fan abuse they received all week.

In the aftermath of the surprisingly narrow 15-13 win, McIlroy – who was targeted with abuse throughout a chaotic day two –hit out at the fans who threw beer at his wife Erica Stoll, after video emerged of the incident. “It should be off-limits, but obviously it wasn’t this week,” said the Northern Irishman. “Erica is fine. She’s a very, very strong woman. You know, she handled everything this week with class and poise and dignity like she always has. I love her and we’re going to have a good time celebrating tonight.”

After two dominant opening days the away team needed just two-and-a-half points to retain the trophy but the US turned up at the course with a vengeance. Cameron Young and Justin Thomas led the early USA fightback, before world No.1 Scottie Scheffler beat McIlroy, Xander Schauffele dominated Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau came back from five down against Matt Fitzpatrick to force the competition late into the day and set up a possible historic win.

However, Ludvig Aberg tempered proceedings by earning a point off Patrick Cantlay to put the cup back within reach of Europe. Lowry forced his match to the final shot on the 18th and drained his effort from six yards to the relief of the European side who retained the cup before a draw for Hatton against Collin Morikawa ensured they won the trophy outright.

Russell Henley (0–2–1): C-

Henley didn’t pick any wins but was unfortunate to be on the receiving end of some narrow defeats. He was statistically the best player out of all 22 involved in the Sunday singles, hitting eight birdies in his halved match with Shane Lowry.

Harris English (0–2–1): D

English was poor in the Friday morning foursomes and only a little better when he returned on Saturday, losing handsomely to McIlroy and Fleetwood on both occasions – albeit a tough ask to win those two matches. He sat out the singles after being Bradley’s envelope pick when Hovland was ruled out injured.

Bryson DeChambeau (1–3–1): C+

DeChambeau lost three of his five matches but fought gamely and gave his all to the American cause. His fightback from five down to Fitzpatrick in the singles, earning a half, was impressive.

Scottie Scheffler (1–4–0): C-

The data suggests Scheffler wasn’t terrible and he ranked middle of the pack for strokes gained across the week. But ultimately the world No 1 lost all four of his team matches before a narrow singles win over Rory McIlroy on Sunday.

JJ Spaun (2–1–0): B+

Played well in his two team matches and brought home a big singles point to make things tense on Sunday afternoon.

Xander Schauffele (3–1–0): A-

Schauffele came away with the joint-best record on the US team, including a 4&3 thrashing of one of Europe’s kingpins, Jon Rahm, in the Sunday singles.

Ludvig Aberg (2–2–0): B

Struggled on Saturday, but that win against Patrick Cantlay on Sunday was vital. The only blue flag all day, without him, Europe could have unravelled. The future of this team, still.

Viktor Hovland (1–1–1): B-

A hell of a player when at his best, the holed putt on 17 in Saturday foursomes was one of the moments of the week. Unfortunate to suffer injury to rule him out of the Saturday fourballs and Sunday singles. Looks to have rediscovered his mojo.

Rasmus Hojgaard (0–2–0): C-

Took a battering in his Friday fourballs match with Aberg, going down 6&5 and was unable to resist Ben Griffin in singles on Sunday. He’ll be better for the experience and perhaps feature in Ireland alongside his twin brother. Bottom of DataGolf’s strokes gained for the week. The counter is his Sunday singles match came after 48 hours without playing, tough to find rhythm.

Luke Donald: A

Got it bang on, mastered the foursomes, again, even on Sunday the insurance of Hatton late in the penultimate match proved a masterstroke.

Matt Fitzpatrick (2–1–1): B+

He’ll be gutted to only halve the match with Bryson DeChambeau in singles, having led five up, but Fitzpatrick was a machine this week. His length of the tee and ice cold demeanour on the greens supports Donald’s decision to pick him as a wildcard. His form justified it, anyway, and that fairway bunker shot on 18 on Saturday was magical.

Robert MacIntyre (1–1–1): B+

A big-time player and part of Europe’s next generation, a regular contender in majors now and flexible enough to play foursomes and fourballs. A clutch half point on the 18th against Sam Burns on Sunday was also precious insurance.

Sepp Straka (1-2-0): B-

Proved effective with Rahm in fourballs on Friday, and no shame in his defeat to JJ Spaun on Sunday, who was one of the USA’s better players. A popular member in the team, with Tyrrell Hatton’s claim that he is the best in terms of “strokes gained partying”.

Justin Rose (2–1–0): B+

Only 2-1-0 this week, but a crucial part of Donald’s side to be able to sit in the morning foursomes and then come out firing, his partnership with Tommy Fleetwood proved inspiring. One they will hope to recreate after waiting their entire careers to join forces.

Shane Lowry (1–0–2): A

The record will not tell the full story of Lowry’s value to this team, a shield for teammate Rory McIlroy in the toughest sporting environment possible. He then held his nerve to hole the putt to retain the cup when Europe were desperate to stop the American momentum.

Tyrrell Hatton (3–0–1): A

His enforced last-minute fourballs substitution – in place of the injured Viktor Hovland – proved an astute move and Hatton is now trusted to handle anything with Jon Rahm after going out first on Friday to down Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas. Huge mentality and a major is the next challenge for one of the finest iron players in the game.

Rory McIlroy (3–0–1): A-

Sensational over days one and two in the toughest of conditions. Europe’s spiritual leader. Ran out of steam on Sunday, dropping his match against Scottie Scheffler in what he called a “pillow fight”. The best year of his career, he says, a grand slam and another away Ryder Cup victory.

Jon Rahm (3–2–0): B-

The Spaniard produced two candidates for shot of the week, and the only blemish of the week was a loss in his second fourball match alongside Sepp Straka and then a comfortable loss to an excellent Xander Schauffele.

A record of 6-0-0 in foursomes means he is now one of just two players from 80 in Ryder Cup history who have played five or more matches in foursomes and remained unbeaten and untied – with the other being teammate Tommy Fleetwood.

Tommy Fleetwood (4–1–0): A

Outstanding all week, with a magical partnership with Rory McIlroy to win two more foursomes matches. Fleetwood’s legend grows, with an overall record standing at 11-4-2, he could yet top the European all-time standings before his career is over.

Scottie Scheffler on emotional week at Ryder Cup

“Yeah I think the emotions of the week, I think we're always excited to get these types of events started. Keegan and our vice captains put us in a position to succeed. They did everything that was asked of them.

“I had extreme confidence in what this team could do, and that's due to our captain. I think they did an amazing job. Keegan did an amazing job.

“My emotions yesterday afternoon when the matches ended, I think it's hard to put into words how much it hurts to lose all four matches. To have the trust of my captains and teammates to go out there and play all four matches and lose all four, it's really hard to put into words how much that stings and hurts.

“I'll go back and reflect on that. But one of the coolest things was these guys picking me up last night. The guys on this team, this is a really special group of guys. We have a special captain, and I was proud to be standing there fighting with these guys today. I think it showed a lot about our team. I think it showed a lot about the job all these guys did to put us in a position to succeed.”

“I'm definitely good walking up that hill on 18. I did that enough today. It's really hard to explain how fast, I mean, not only the week but just the day goes. And I was -- I think I was maybe behind my putt, about to go into it on 17 when I assumed Cam made his. I heard a roar and I backed off. And then to see that he had won his match and then it was like, okay, you know, it just is one of those things like yeah, we all -- we all, deep down, I'm sure we felt like we could. But in reality, you look at it, it is what it is. But like Keegan said, everything kept happening and happening and happening.

“You know, you're just -- the next match is the most important when you're in a position like we were going into today. It was just important to get whoever was the closest to winning their match through and it just kept happening and happening. Yeah, it was so cool to be part of.”

“Yeah, last time in Rome, it was sort of a whirlwind for me,” he revealed.

“Obviously just turned pro a couple of months prior. But felt a little bit more comfortable this week, I guess, knowing a little bit more what to expect.

“But yeah, today, I was proud of the way that I played. And I'm proud of being a part of this team.

“There's 11 guys that I have tremendous joy to have been a part of and a captain that I'm so happy that he put trust in me, and I'm just trying to repay that by playing good golf.

“Yeah, today, is a day that I'm going to remember for a very, very long time.”

“I really have committed myself to this job because I feel I owe it to the players and I owe it to the Ryder Cup which has been so special to me,” he said.

“I've had so many incredible experiences. So yeah, I've had to kind of put my own game a little bit to the side, and every day I'm trying to think about things that could help us, come up with different things that might just give us a little edge.

“We came into this in New York, and we knew New York was not going to be easy. It was rough. It was brutal at times out there. It really was. It was nasty sometimes.

“But I think when you prep these guys enough and you communicate enough with these guys and you give them a plan and an idea and a theme and a motivation, they don't really need motivating, but you know, the theme causes the cohesion of the team.

“I was very fortunate to have 11 of the same guys from Rome.”

Rory McIlroy was late to the party. He had been out on the course supporting his teammates when his great friend Shane Lowry knocked in the putt that retained the Ryder Cup on the 18th green, and the celebrations had already kicked off.

You knew McIlroy had finally arrived when a booming chant of “Rory!” exploded from the horseshoe grandstand around the green. By now it was 6pm, there was only one match left out on the course, and the seats were filled exclusively by European fans as Americans fled the scene.

"What an atmosphere it's been, how tough it's been for all of us. I couldn't be any prouder.

The ball vanished deep into the hole and so too did Shane Lowry’s senses in an impassioned, lumbering dance across the 18th green. An exorcism of nerves on a sizzling afternoon at Bethpage Black, the Irishman saved a staggering Europe from a state of shock after a wave of red in Sunday singles.

The birdie to tie with Russell Henley nudged Luke Donald’s side to that magical mark of 14 points, eventually finishing 15-13, to end an ominous American charge and the prospect of an even greater comeback than “The Miracle of Medinah”.

“There's so many things that Luke has done outstandingly professionally, so perfect, that it's hard to say one.

“Without getting too much into it, the level of professionalism he's shown us the last four years, his attention to detail in his post and his knowledge of Ryder Cup and the game and what we do on the golf course day in can day out is what made these last two Ryder Cups possible.

“He is the captain of this ship, and he's led us better than I can see anybody leading us. He set the bar extremely high for the future captains.”

“But do you know what I mean; I fee like the power of this, the power of the group, who knows what it is, that ability to lock in, the ability to just want it that little bit more.

He later had to be held back by his caddy after another obnoxious comment on a tee while the PGA of America sent extra police and security staff on to the course, with at least one spectator removed.

Donald Trump has not been enjoying the golf. Normally, he relishes his contact with the game. But this weekend, his view of it has not been a winning one. Far from it.

In the Ryder Cup, Team USA, the side in which he has invested so much personal capital, are being hammered. Eviscerated. Taken apart. Worse, for the Trump mindset, they are being put to the sword by the team from Europe, the very continent that the US president loudly proclaims is being ripped apart by immigration, pervaded by Sharia law, hollowed out by wokeism.

It was not meant to be this way. Here at Bethpage, Trump was meant to be witnessing a vivid example of American exceptionalism.

“That’s a big part of my captaincy. To create an environment where these guys are having the best weeks of their lives. Honestly, we’ll always remember this, we’ll go down in history.

“We talk about the people that came before us, that paved the way for us. Now future generations will talk about this team, what they did, and how th
