Home after a memorable few days on Long Island. Please check out my two stories on the #RyderCup in review...

Rory McIlroy on etiquette at Bethpage: "Golf should be held to a higher standard than what was seen out there this week."

Luke Donald, in explaining his belief that his job is to put his players in best position to win, says they swapped in better-smelling shampoo and different bedding in the players' rooms. How's that for obsessing over the details?

Europe wins Ryder Cup 15-13 after U.S. Sunday surge fieldlevelmedia.com/pga_tour/eur...

A tradition like no other, not only in golf but across sports: Prefacing your press conference question with, "Obviously not the result you wanted today, but..."

"Nothing against Viktor, but that rule has to change." - Keegan Bradley on the envelope rule and sitting Harris English

5:42 p.m.: Europe reaches 14 1/2 points and have won the Ryder Cup after a dramatic Sunday afternoon at Bethpage Black.

Terrific observations by @shaneryanhere.bsky.social last night that turned out to be prophetic. "I swear Lowry lives the most charmed life in Ryder Cup history." www.golfdigest.com/story/ryder-...

Henley chokes in a big spot, again again.

Henley chokes in a big spot again. If Lowry wins the 18th hole, Europe retains the Cup.

By the way, how did this turn out? Bryson turned it up a notch but Fitzpatrick blew it.

This is building to Shane Lowry being the hero for Europe.

Europe jumps up to 13 1/2 with Aberg finishing off Cantlay and Bryson-Fitz halving.

Scheffler has earned at least half a point, preventing 0-5-0.

It's 12-8. And Europe only leads one match right now. Buckle up!

Incredible! Fitzpatrick lips out at 17 and Bryson has somehow stormed back from 5 down. The first THREE matches have reached 18 all square. Elsewhere, Xander is 4 up, 4 to play on Rahm, so that will be at least a half-point for the U.S.

Seven of 11 matches are currently even, but who on the U.S. side has the killer instinct to move ahead?

Thru 7. 97%.

Singles play looks a hell of a lot like foursomes and fourball. The U.S. have won two holes so far: Young and Schauffele both at the first. Europe has won eight.

An MRI conducted Saturday night revealed a bulging disk, and Team Europe said in a statement that Hovland woke up Sunday unable to move his neck. fieldlevelmedia.com/news/viktor-...

At the standing-room-only grandstand to watch the first few tee times. I like the strategy of putting Cam Young, Justin Thomas and Bryson DeChambeau in the first three matches. Crowd favorites who could also drive the green

Just passed a fan with this shirt: "Woods Daly 2028"

Filed to @fieldlevelmedia.bsky.social - Viktor Hovland has withdrawn from singles due to his neck injury, aggravated Saturday morning. Harris English, who was already slated to face Hovland in the last match, was the name in Keegan Bradley's envelope. It's now 12-5 Europe.

Good morning, one more time, from Bethpage Black. If you're just catching up on the #RyderCup, the question today isn't if Europe will win, but when and by how much. Europe's 2.5 points from retaining, 3 from winning outright after a very testy Saturday: www.thenewstribune.com/sports/artic...

5:25 a.m. wake-up call 9:05 p.m. final story update filed Now THAT was something. An unforgettable day on the scene at Bethpage Black. Tomorrow should be an easy finish, though 😉

Sunday #RyderCup pairings! Young vs. Rose Thomas vs. Fleetwood DeChambeau vs. Fitzpatrick Scheffler vs. McIlroy Cantlay vs. Aberg Schauffele vs. Rahm Spaun vs. Straka Henley vs. Lowry Griffin vs. Hojgaard Morikawa vs. Hatton Burns vs. MacIntyre English vs. Hovland

Luke Donald says Viktor Hovland is on his way to get an MRI on his injured neck and they'll see the results.

Tempers high at Ryder Cup as Europe whips U.S. for 7-point lead #RyderCup fieldlevelmedia.com/pga_tour/tem...

Justin Thomas and the match official again tried to quiet the crowds as Rory putted. No dice, and he misses. Up to Lowry to halve the hole

Dueling chants at the 17th tee with Europe 1 up. U-S-A vs. A pro-Rory song. He is still getting heckled when setting up to his ball.

Lottttt of words being exchanged between Scottie/Bryson and Tommy/Rose. Think it started with Bryson yelling in Tommy's face. Now it's getting feisty!

If Matt Fitzpatrick turns into a Ryder Cup killer too, the U.S. might not stand a chance for the next decade

Some additional information on Viktor Hovland, his neck and what happens if he can't play tomorrow: fieldlevelmedia.com/news/viktor-...

All four matches are still in play this afternoon. I fully realize "If the U.S. can go 4-0" is the equivalent of "If Spieth goes out in 30," but there's still a window for them to wriggle back into this thing

Justin Rose took four steps before that putt dropped. Elite.

No American has lost more strokes around the green this week than Scottie Scheffler. He's positive in every other category, which feels wrong if you base it on the eye test. There at 7, he put himself in a terrible position but the ensuing chip put him 20 feet away.

Some developing news in the afternoon fourball: Viktor Hovland replaced by Tyrrell Hatton in the final match.

Team Europe builds 8 1/2-3 1/2 lead at #RyderCup through three sessions fieldlevelmedia.com/pga_tour/tea...

Saturday afternoon fourballs at the #RyderCup: Thomas/Young vs. McIlroy/Lowry Scheffler/DeChambeau vs. Fleetwood/Rose Spaun/Schauffele vs. Rahm/Straka Burns/Cantlay vs. Hovland/Fitzpatrick

It is 8.5-3.5 Team Europe. Recap and more to come from me.

Hovland hit it to 90 feet at the par-3 17th, Scheffler hit to 12 feet and they halved. Dormie, at least half a point going Europe's way.

Scheffler/Henley are the ones in better position now. Advantage U.S. on the 13th green after Hovland misses long.

The first two matches are essentially decided. Question for the U.S. is whether it can squeeze a point out of the other two. Do Xander and Patrick have a rally from 1 down in them? 12-16 were not their best holes Friday a.m., and Rahm and Hatton played well there.

Everyone on here is correct about Morikawa/English, but I don't know if any combo Bradley sent out there would have a chance against McIlroy/Fleetwood. It's a free bingo square for Europe.

Europe's just stunting on them now 😱

Some people say that it's super loud and rowdy out here and some say it's disappointingly muted. The truth is somewhere in the middle. It's especially fiery whenever any American fan sees Rory McIlroy. Terrific environment here at 1 green, and underdogs Morikawa/English are 1 up

In case you missed it: First-time captain Keegan Bradley stated and restated his stance that it's best for the Americans to stick to their plan. As for the continued #RyderCup struggles of the World No. 1: "We are not worried about Scottie Scheffler." www.kansascity.com/sports/golf/...
