It will be remembered as one of the most classic Ryder Cup Sundays.
The USA started the singles play at a disadvantage 5–12, but nosed a historic turnaround. What for a long time seemed to be a European "walk in the park" instead became a golf drama where Europe's team trembled properly.
Only one of eleven Europeans managed to win their singles match. It was Ludvig Åberg, whose point in the match against Patrick Cantlay was a key to being able to keep away and retain the trophy.
Super satisfied with getting a blue point on the scoreboard, says Åberg in the official TV interview.
"Best competition in the world"
The 25-year-old Skåne resident decided his match on the 17th hole and felt the nerves when the USA was on its way to catching up.
You play for so much more than just yourself, and that's also why this is so much fun. It's the best competition in the world and I'm glad to have contributed to the team, says Åberg.
He finishes this year's Ryder Cup with exactly the same individual record as in his debut in Rome two years ago – two wins and two losses.
Europe won in the end with 15–13 after a lot of pressure was put on the players in the last matches.
Shane Lowry arranged the half point that secured at least a draw.
Tyrrell Hatton fixed a half point as well – and secured the win.
One of the toughest days I've ever experienced on a golf course, says the Englishman.
For my part, I hoped it wouldn't depend on me. The last five, six, seven holes were terrible.
"Could not be more proud"
Many Europeans were emotional after the win and praised captain Luke Donald, who has now led Europe to victory both at home and away.
The Englishman had to step in as captain ahead of Rome, when Henrik Stenson went to the LIV tour and had to leave the assignment prematurely.
I knew it would be tough, but didn't think it would be this tough, says Donald about the American comeback.
The win outside New York breaks a trend where five consecutive Ryder Cups have been won with fairly clear numbers by the home team.
We came here and knew we had a very difficult task. I could not be more proud of these guys, says Luke Donald.
Next Ryder Cup in Ireland
The Englishman was then asked if the players will probably sing about "two years left" at the victory party. But he didn't give any message about the future.
First, I'll enjoy this evening, he says.
Notable from the last day's play:
+ Tommy Fleetwood missed the chance to become the second European in history to win all five matches. After four wins, it became a loss in the singles against Justin Thomas.
+ American world number one Scottie Scheffler beat world number two Rory McIlroy and avoided the humiliation of losing all five matches.
The next Ryder Cup will be played at the Irish Adare Manor in two years.
