‘Donald is the best European captain of all time’
“I would have set the course up a little differently,” said Keegan Bradley.
“But Europe played better than us and deserved to win. They are a great team.
“In my eyes, Luke Donald is the best European captain of all time.
“I’ve got a real weird relationship with this tournament. A lot of heartbreak. But I still love it, and I love the guys.
“I love being out here again. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to do this again. I will remember this for the rest of my life.”

Hatton: ‘I’m just so happy we’ve been able to win’
Tyrell Hatton reacts after securing the win for Europe:
“It’s been one of the hardest days I’ve ever experienced on a golf course,” he said yesterday to sum up his match against Collin Morikawa.
“Going out 10th of 11 matches, you hope everything’s wrapped up – but you still want to take pride in your individual record.
“The US lads put up an incredible fight, as expected – they’re amazing players.
“Selfishly, I was really hoping it wouldn’t come down to me, but those last five, six, seven holes were horrible.
“In the end, I’m just so happy we’ve been able to win.”

Europe’s Jon Rahm gave his thoughts on why he feels like Luke Donald was and is a great captain for the European team.
“There’s so many things that Luke has done outstandingly professionally, so perfect, that it’s hard to say one.
“Without getting too much into it, the level of professionalism he’s shown us the last four years, his attention to detail in his post and his knowledge of Ryder Cup and the game and what we do on the golf course day in can day out is what made these last two Ryder Cups possible.
“He is the captain of this ship, and he’s led us better than I can see anybody leading us. He set the bar extremely high for the future captains.”

Justin Rose was superb on the greens throughout the week and gained more strokes with his putter than he did in Rome two years ago.
He was asked what his secret is and replied: “I wish I knew. I wish I could be a bit more selfish and know that 25 weeks of the year.
“But do you know what I mean; I fee like the power of this, the power of the group, who knows what it is, that ability to lock in, the ability to just want it that little bit more.
“The answer to your question is I don’t know, other than the badge and the boys, honestly. That’s all that matters, honestly, the badge and the boys.”

Europe’s Ryder Cup victory on US soil littered with controversies
There were unsavoury scenes throughout the three days of play with controversies as prevalent as the incredible action on display.
Here the PA Agency lists some of the controversial moments that made the headlines:
Rory McIlroy’s wife Erica was not immune to the hostile behaviour. Lowry described the abuse she received as “astonishing” as she was also cat-called about her and her husband’s private life.
Then on the 18th hole on Saturday night, with her husband having just earned a vital point in the foursomes, she was almost hit by a beer can thrown from the crowd.
