The Ryder Cup 2025 is already generating buzz, and after Europe's dramatic victory at Bethpage, New York, the question on everyone's lips is: can they do it again? The 2023 Ryder Cup saw Europe secure a decisive win, leaving the US team reeling. The headlines screamed of a 'Battering at Bethpage,' highlighting Europe's dominance over the opening days. A record seven-point lead seemed insurmountable.
A Fight to the Finish
Despite the odds, the Americans mounted a fierce comeback, making the final day a nail-biting affair. Ultimately, Europe clinched the victory with a score of 15-13. Ludvig Aberg stood out as the only European player to win his singles match, while six US players secured wins for their team.
Hatton Seals the Deal
Tyrrell Hatton's performance in match 10 proved crucial, securing the winning 14½ points for Europe. This victory marked the fifth time a European side has won an away match, a feat not achieved since 2012. Hatton's undefeated streak throughout the week, along with Shane Lowry's pivotal putt to secure at least a trophy retention, solidified Europe's triumph.
Luke Donald: A Ryder Cup Legend
Luke Donald's leadership has cemented his status as a Ryder Cup icon. Following the 'Romp in Rome' in 2023, Donald became only the second captain, after Tony Jacklin, to lead the side to home and away victories. He also holds the unique distinction of winning both home and away as a player.
