Tyrrell Hatton and Team Europe win back the Ryder Cup in Rome.
Europe's golfers have won back the Ryder Cup from the USA after an event-packed tournament in Rome.
The European team reached their target of 14.5 points on Sunday afternoon after final-day singles wins for Viktor Hovland, Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton, Robert MacIntyre and Tommy Fleetwood, who secured the crucial victory over Rickie Fowler. The final score was 16.5-11.5.
It means the Europeans reclaim the title they lost to the USA in 2021 with Tyrrell remaining undefeated for the week delivering 3.5 points from a possible 4.
Captain Luke Donald commented “This is why the Ryder Cup is so special to me and the guys. We play for each other, we will share those memories forever.”.
Team USA will have the chance to win the famous Ryder Cup trophy back when the 45th Ryder Cup tees off at Bethpage Black, New York in 2025.
For Europe, the victory seals a dream double after its women’s team completed a dramatic comeback to retain the Solheim Cup in Spain last week.
