Europe withstood a fierce American fightback to secure the four points required to reclaim the Ryder Cup with England's Tommy Fleetwood sealing the deal in a nerve-jangling climax on Sunday.
The Americans, attempting the biggest final-day comeback in the history of the biennial event, finally found their mojo after being outplayed and out-fought for two days at the Marco Simone course.
Although the final score was a comfortable-looking 16-1/2- 11-1/2 with the gap the same as at the start of the 12 singles, there were moments when a U.S. win looked possible. "I'd have rather not been in that situation," he said. "I didn't want it to come down to one of us at the back. Donald had top-loaded his singles order to try to get the job done early with world number three Jon Rahm, number four Viktor Hovland and number two Rory McIlroy, who was involved in unsavoury scenes the night before, out in the opening four matches.Norway's Hovland, outstanding throughout the three days, was unstoppable as he finished off Collin Morikawa on the 15th green for a 4&3 victory which included seven birdies.
"We needed to rally around something, we were getting our butts kicked to start the day," Scheffler told reporters. With the U.S. leading several matches the pressure was building but Englishman Tyrrell Hatton proved impervious to it, completing a 3&2 victory over British Open champion Brian Harman to leave Europe half a point from glory.Koepka beat young Swede Ludvig Aberg before Max Homa survived a tension-riddled 18th hole to hang on for a 1-up win over Matt Fitzpatrick who had the chance to deliver the half point needed only to miss an 18-foot birdie putt.
