Europe Clinches 15-13 Ryder Cup Victory Over U.S. at Bethpage Black

News summary

The 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black saw Europe defeat the U.S. 15-13, marking the Americans' 11th loss in 15 matches and highlighting ongoing challenges for the U.S. team. Captain Keegan Bradley acknowledged mistakes in his rookie captaincy, including strategic errors and the impact of a controversial rule that awarded half a point to Europe when injured Norwegian Viktor Hovland could not play in singles, a rule Bradley insists must change for future Cups. Despite the loss, young American Cameron Young was a standout performer, winning three of four matches and energizing the home crowd. Analysts point to Europe's superior organizational structure and institutional advantages, which have consistently given them an edge in pairs sessions, contrasting with the less cohesive American approach. Looking ahead to the 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland, Tiger Woods is favored to captain the U.S. team in a pivotal 100th anniversary event, with hopes to improve the Americans' performance on foreign soil. Overall, the U.S. faces a significant uphill battle to counter Europe's dominance, both strategically and institutionally, with calls for systemic changes to bolster American competitiveness.
