Shane Lowry stemmed the red, white and blue momentum<\/a>, stealing a vital half point against Russell Henley to retain the trophy, with Tyrrell Hatton and Bob MacIntyre both winning half points late on to hand Europe a 15-13 win.<\/p>\nAt the trophy presentation, the 12 members of Team Europe and captain Luke Donald stood waiting to be introduced. While this was going on, European fans launched into a rendition of “Are you watching Donald Trump?”<\/p>\n

This chant drew a laugh from both Lowry and McIlroy, with TV cameras even showing a jubilant Lowry joining in with the chant himself.<\/p>\n
Before the presentation, an emotional Lowry spoke to Sky Sports about what winning the Ryder Cup on American soil meant to him.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been so lucky to experience amazing things in this game. That was the hardest couple hours of my life, honestly,” said Lowry.<\/p>\n
“I can’t believe that ball went in. I stood over it and went ‘this is it’.”<\/p>\n
Lowry has had some amazing moments in golf, none more so than when he won the Open in Royal Portrush in 2019, but the Irishman has a special connection with the Ryder Cup, and it’s clear that today’s win meant more to him than anything.<\/p>\n
“I said to Darren walking down 18, ‘I have the chance to do the coolest thing in my life here.’<\/p>\n
“The Ryder Cup means everything to me. I won the Open in Ireland but the Ryder Cup is everything.<\/p>\n
“To do that on the 18th in front of everyone. It was so hard. Fair play to the US lads. We knew they would come out fighting.<\/p>\n
“I just hope one of the boys can get a half point so we can get the win.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Both Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry were spotted laughing as European fans sung a song directed at Donald…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52040,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,1394,1395,112],"class_list":["post-52039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-rory-mcilroy","tag-shane-lowry","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
