Shane Lowry recently took a photo with the Ryder Cup alongside a quote from Keegan Bradley that didn’t age well. The United States team captain had expressed confidence in his team’s performance against Europe at Bethpage.
Despite the American team’s strong start, Europe emerged victorious as the first team to win an away game in over a decade, dating back to 2012. With a final score of 15-13, Shane Lowry secured the crucial half point needed to retain the trophy.
Europe dominated the early sessions, leading 12-5 before the Sunday singles matches. Although the American team staged a comeback during the singles, Europe managed to secure the win, with Tyrrell Hatton’s half point in the tenth match sealing their victory.
Following the win, Lowry shared his excitement on social media, calling it a lifelong dream. A notable quote from Bradley, displayed at the course, emphasized the U.S. team’s determination before the event.
The quote, highlighted in a Netflix documentary series, referenced Bradley’s bold statements after a previous victory. Despite the strong words, the U.S. team could not deliver on the promise made by their captain.
Reflecting on the intense match, Lowry expressed gratitude for the opportunity and the pressure of the moment. He emphasized the significance of the Ryder Cup to him, stating it was even more special than winning The Open in Ireland.
