Shane Lowry recently shared a photo alongside the Ryder Cup, juxtaposed with a quote from Keegan Bradley that now appears outdated. The U.S. captain had shown confidence in his team’s capabilities against Europe at Bethpage, but the visitors defied expectations by claiming victory on foreign soil for the first time in over a decade, with Europe prevailing 15-13. Lowry’s crucial half point ensured Europe retained the trophy.
Despite initially dominating with a 12-5 lead before the Sunday singles, Europe faced a resilient American team. However, Europe managed to secure the win, with Tyrrell Hatton’s half point in the tenth match sealing their triumph.
Lowry expressed his elation over the victory, describing it as a lifelong dream in his social media posts. A notable quote from Bradley, vowing to “kick their a**” at Bethpage, was prominently displayed at the course, originating from a Netflix documentary episode where Bradley made bold statements following the Presidents Cup.
Reflecting on the challenging singles match, Lowry acknowledged the intensity of the competition and the significance of the Ryder Cup in his career. Despite the U.S. team’s fierce performance, Lowry emphasized the emotional and professional importance of the Ryder Cup to him.
