Ryder Cup<\/a> triumph under captain Luke Donald, who also oversaw their win in Rome in 2023. His leadership was hailed as \u201castonishing\u201d by players and rivals alike, with Donald becoming the first captain to secure back-to-back victories since Tony Jacklin in 1987.<\/p>\nDonald deflected speculation about whether he would continue into 2027, when Ireland will host the tournament. \u201cMy answer is I\u2019m going to enjoy tonight,\u201d he said, though chants of \u201cTwo more years\u201d rang out among his players.<\/p>\n
Lowry, who holed the Cup-clinching putt on the 18th green against Russell Henley, said: \u201cHe\u2019s the greatest captain ever. The job he has done is beyond anything we could have asked for.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jon Rahm echoed that sentiment, crediting Donald\u2019s meticulous preparation for the team\u2019s unity and performance. \u201cHe\u2019s been so professional, so dedicated, and so well organised. He\u2019s the leader of the ship and has steered us the right way,\u201d Rahm said.<\/p>\n
Even US captain Keegan Bradley, who accepted responsibility for his side\u2019s defeat, paid tribute to Donald. \u201cI think he\u2019s the best European Ryder Cup captain of all time,\u201d Bradley said. \u201cHe put his team in the best position to win, and to do that in Rome and here in New York is remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Americans came close to pulling off the largest comeback in the competition\u2019s history, claiming 8.5 points in Sunday\u2019s singles \u2013 a record for one session \u2013 but were undone by Europe\u2019s dominance in the foursomes and fourballs.<\/p>\n
Bradley said he had no excuses. \u201cWhen you\u2019re the leader and you lose, you take the blame. I made mistakes. This is no one\u2019s fault but mine,\u201d he said. \u201cBut you also have to tip your cap to Europe \u2013 they played incredible golf in a hostile environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
For McIlroy, the victory was all the sweeter given the hostility he endured. \u201cGolf teaches you lessons \u2013 respect, rules, etiquette. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t think we should ever accept what happened this week. But in the end, we showed our strength as a team. That\u2019s what matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
