Europe won back the the Ryder Cup, just like it always does before its raucous crowd, with Rory McIlroy leading the way and Tommy Fleetwood delivering the decisive point.
Europe captain Luke Donald, center, and team members lift the Ryder Cup after defeating the United States 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 at the Marco Simone Golf Club in Guidonia Montecelio, Italy, on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023.
“We were so disappointed after Whistling Straits. We all were,” said McIlroy, who was in tears at the last Ryder Cup. “We wanted to come to Rome and redeem ourselves. I just knew I needed to put in a better performance for my team this week.” Europe went into the singles session knowing no team had ever come back from a five-point deficit on Sunday. The Americans made them sweat, but only briefly.
Europe was on the verge of victory, needing only for Matt Fitzpatrick to win the 18th hole for a halve. That looked probable when Homa caught a lie in rough so deep and gnarly near a bunker that he took a penalty drop on the advice of his caddie.
