Europe wins the Ryder Cup 2025 behind strong performances by Rory McILroy, Ludvig Aberg

A Black Bethpage beat suddenly turned into war, but Europe was kept late to keep the Ryder Cup.

The euro ended the second day by 11.5-4.5, the largest deficit that a American team has ever faced in the current 28-point format of the event. However, after Viktor Hovland had to withdraw due to a neck injury, Harris English was seated on the bench and their match was tried for the rules of the event.

Thus, Europe only needed two out of 11 points to be the first champion repeated since Europe was three consecutive from 2010 to 2014.

However, it was certainly a version to obtain these two points. The United States has won three consecutive points, with Cam Young and Justin Thomas both Birdieing out of 18 to win their games, 1.

Bryson Dechambeau retaliated from 5 to seven to equalize his match with Matt Fitzpatrick, who could have won him if he had not missed a 3 feet by 17 while one.

Ludvig Aberg beat Patrick Cantlay, 2 and 1, to give Europe 13.5 points, but after that, Europe has not led any of the remaining matches. Suddenly, the United States has listed only three points.

But below one in 18, Shane Lowry won the hole against Russell Henley to equalize his match to obtain the half-point necessary to keep the cup.

It is also the first time that an outside team has won a Ryder Cup since the incredible return of Europe in 2012 to Medinah.

Europe won each of the first four sessions, a Ryder Cup first. Three of these sessions were 3-1 scores.
