Team Europe fended off a valiant United States comeback to retain the Ryder Cup.

Shane Lowry secured the victory for Europe with a birdie putt on the 18th hole to tie his match with Russell Henley.

The half-point earned by Lowry put Europe at the 14-point mark it needed to retain the Ryder Cup.

The Americans did their best to make up a seven-point deficit with five victories prior to Europe’s clinching.

Lowry prevented an all-time American comeback from happening with his event-winning putt in the eighth singles match of the day.

Prior to Lowry’s half-point, Europe only earned 1.5 points from the first seven singles matches.

The Americans started to claw back thanks to wins by Cameron Young and Justin Thomas. Both of those golfers won their matches with putts on the 18th hole.

Bryson DeChambeau erased a five-stroke deficit against Matt Fitzpatrick to tie the third match of the day.

Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffle and J.J. Spaun all won for the Americans, but the wave of victories was not enough for the hosts to pull off an all-time comeback.

Europe built up a substantial advantage on Friday and Saturday. The cushion helped the Europeans deal with a lackluster Sunday.

Europe still came away with the victory. No prize money was awarded to Europeans, as has been the case in every prior Ryder Cup.
