Shane Lowry was captured in a photo with the Ryder Cup alongside a quote attributed to Keegan Bradley that now seems outdated. The U.S. captain had expressed strong confidence in his team’s performance against Europe at Bethpage.
Despite this, the European team achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first team in over a decade to secure an away victory, dating back to 2012. Europe ultimately emerged victorious with a 15-13 win, with Shane Lowry clinching the crucial half point needed to retain their trophy from the previous tournament.
Europe had a commanding lead of 12-5 before the Sunday singles matches, having dominated the earlier sessions of foursomes and four-ball. Although the American team fought back strongly during the singles matches, Europe managed to secure the win, with Tyrrell Hatton’s half point in the tenth match sealing the victory.
Following the triumph, Lowry expressed his elation, describing the win as a lifelong dream in social media posts. One post featured Lowry holding the Ryder Cup trophy beneath a quote from Bradley displayed at the course.
The infamous quote from Bradley, stating they would go to Bethpage to dominate, was made during the Netflix documentary series ‘Full Swing.’ Bradley had made the remark after the U.S. team’s victory in the Presidents Cup in September at Royal Montreal, expressing his determination and confidence in the team’s capabilities.
Despite Bradley’s bold statement, the U.S. team fell short of their goal, putting up a tough fight against Europe. Lowry reflected on the intense competition after his singles match, mentioning the emotional intensity and significance of the Ryder Cup to him.
