Shane Lowry recently shared a photo alongside the Ryder Cup, juxtaposed with a now ironic quote from Keegan Bradley. Despite Bradley’s confident prediction of American victory at Bethpage, Europe defied the odds and emerged triumphant with a 15-13 win, securing their trophy for another two years.
Europe’s victory marked the first time in over a decade that a visiting team had won the Ryder Cup, with Shane Lowry clinching the crucial half point needed for their retention. While trailing 12-5 before the Sunday singles, Europe’s strong performance in the preceding sessions ultimately secured their success, including a pivotal half point from Tyrrell Hatton.
Lowry expressed his elation at the win, calling it a lifelong dream in social media posts. The victory was made sweeter by the backdrop of Bradley’s infamous expletive-laden quote from a Netflix documentary, where he boldly declared America’s intent to dominate at Bethpage.
Reflecting on the intense competition, Lowry described the final moments of his singles match as the toughest in his life, highlighting the significance of the Ryder Cup to him personally. Despite the fierce competition from the American team, Lowry’s putt sealed the victory, solidifying the importance of the Ryder Cup in his career.
