Europe regain the Ryder Cup after a 16½-11½ win over the US
Shane Lowry joked that he, Tommy Fleetwood and Robert MacIntyre joked that they hoped the fate of the 44th Ryder Cup would not rest on their shoulders.Despite their commanding lead it was a tense few hours as the US tried to claw back some points.In the end Fleetwood's victory in the 11th game over Rickie Fowler gave Europe the half point they needed and secured a 16½-11½ win.
Lowry, who was out before Fleetwood, joked it was the "worst two hours" of his career as he led the celebrations afterwards."Tommy, Bob and I joked having lunch that we hope it doesn’t come down to us and we’re celebrating all the way down the back nine. But it did! "I felt like I did a lot of good stuff today and am very proud of myself and the way I fought. Jordan Spieth is such a good competitor but I will never stop fighting.
"I was disappointed to lose the last hole but how are you supposed to play it with those scenes? It was carnage. I felt bad for Jordan but that’s how it is. Sure in two years time at Bethphage, they will be on their side. "On the 18th green, I thanked Luke Donald for putting his faith in me. I think I proved my worth this week."
