Ryder Cup 2025: Europe Defeats U.S. at Bethpage Black Full Match-by-Match Scores

Europe captured the 45th Ryder Cup on Sunday at Bethpage Black, edging the United States 15–13 in a thriller that came down to the final singles matches.

The Europeans dominated the first two days, building a record seven-point lead heading into Sunday. The U.S. mounted a furious charge in singles, threatening the largest comeback in event history, but fell just short. It was Europe’s first road victory since the legendary 2012 Medinah comeback.

Europe’s early dominance proved decisive, and despite an 8.5–3.5 singles win by the Americans, Shane Lowry’s clutch half-point ensured Europe retained the Cup.
