Keegan Bradley reveals what he would have done differently having seen how the weekend played out.
He told Sky Sports: “I would have set the course up a little differently – but Europe played better than us and deserved to win. They are a great team.
“In my eyes, Luke Donald is the best European captain of all time.
“I’ve got a real weird relationship with this tournament. A lot of heartbreak. But I still love it, and I love the guys.
“I love being out here again. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to do this again. I will remember this for the rest of my life.”
Tyrrell talks
The man that clinched the half point which secured Europe’s victory, Tyrrell Hatton told Sky Sports: “To be honest, it’s been one of the hardest days I’ve ever experienced on the golf course.
“Going out number 10 of 11 matches, you’re hoping that everything is wrapped up but still want to pride in your individual record.
“The U.S. lads put up an incredible fight — it was to be expected, they’re amazing players. Selfishly, I was hoping it wouldn’t come down to me.
“The last five, six, seven holes were horrible but I’m so happy that we’ve managed to win.”
The Fairytale in New York – report
Europe have WON the Ryder Cup over Team USA on a dramatic day at Bethpage Black.
Luke Donald’s men needed just two points to keep their trophy won in Rome in 2023.
They had completely outplayed their rivals across the first two days in New York.
And they kept the famous gold trophy during the single’s action on Sunday afternoon.
It wasn’t without drama though, as the US stormed to a comeback.
Rahm reacts
Jon Rahm said: “It’s about as intense a rollercoaster of emotions I’ve ever had. for sure on the golf course, maybe in my life. The intensity out there was incredible. The U.S. team did nothing short of amazing.
“What they almost pulled off was amazing. Luckily we had a big enough lead and we had the right people at the back to get it done. Hard to describe. What an atmosphere it’s been all week, it’s been so tough for us and I couldn’t be prouder of everyone in this team.
“We came together as a team and did what a lot of people thought was impossible in New York. It feels very special. That’s golf, that’s sport. That’s why you play 12 points on Sunday, a lot of things can change.
“Great putts on 18 by Cam and JT, once the echoes of the cheers happen you can hear it on the golf course.”
More from Bradley
While Europe were celebrating on 18, Keegan Bradley told the press conference the rule regarding injury and ‘the envelope’ has to change.
Viktor Hovland’s absence meant Harris English had to sit out and in doing so, their match was tied and put down for a half each.
He said: “The rule has to change.
“I think it’s obvious to everyone in the sports world, everyone in this room.”
Fan discussion
Clearly, the New York fans did their best to try and ruin a fantastic Ryder Cup.
Clearly, the fans in Ireland in two years time are going to be a heck of a lot better behaved too.
Lowry told Sky Sports: “Luke is the greatest captain that has ever lived. He’s the most amazing man in the world.
“He’s done the best job. I don’t know what to say.”
On a home Ryder Cup for him in two years, he added: “It will be a little bit nicer than playing here, I know that!”
After Tottenham dug in to earn a 1-0 win against Villarreal on their return to the Champions League in midweek, Lucas Bergvall praised their “clean-sheet mentality’ with that shutout their fourth in their first five games this season.
When the clean sheet opportunity was swiftly wiped out by Brighton on Saturday, the Spurs players showed a different mentality.
This time they never gave up and appeared to have the belief that they could get something from the game, despite their statistically poor ability to recover from two-goal deficits.
“The mentality that we showed, I was so impressed with,” added Frank.
“[We showed] the mentality to stay in the game, to keep going, to keep pushing and come back and get a well deserved 2-2.”
Tottenham midfielder Joao Palhinha told Sky Sports: “At least what we can take is the mentality that we had fighting for the result.”
He added: “This mentality needs to be there always regardless of the result.”
Against Brighton, Tottenham had 45 touches of the ball inside the opposition box, compared to just 17 for Brighton.
They also had 11 shots on goal but just three of those were on target.
While Tottenham appear to have improved defensively and mentality wise from last season, making the opposition goalkeeper work appears to be an area they have, for now, regressed in.
“There are a lot of things for this team to keep improving,” Palhinha added.
India cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar is amongst those to heap praise on the current team after Test series in England.
A euphoric India heaped praises on Shubman Gill and his men after they pulled off an edge-of-the-seat thriller at the Oval on Monday to split an all-time classic Test series with England.
Odds were stacked against India in their first Test series under Gill, who inherited a team depleted by the retirement of batting stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli – two men who preceded him in that role.
As if the gaping holes in their batting order were not bad enough, veteran seamer Mohammed Shami was deemed unfit for the tour, while pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was available only for three of the five Tests as part of his workload management.
Gill and his men went on to record memorable victories at Edgbaston and the Oval to secure a 2-2 series draw and assure their legions of fans that the future of Indian cricket was in safe hands.
The indefatigable Mohammed Siraj led their lion-hearted bowling effort in the series finale to script a six-run victory amid high drama.
Batting great Sachin Tendulkar led tributes to the team and said the quality of cricket on offer was “absolute goosebumps”.
“Series 2–2, Performance 10/10! SUPERMEN from INDIA! What a win,” the former India captain wrote on X.

England needed 35 runs on Monday to secure a 3-1 series win with four wickets in hand, but Siraj struck three times to secure a famous victory for his team.
“In a nail-biting, riveting hour of cricket at England’s oldest test match ground, in characteristically cloudy Olde Blighty weather, India pulled off a historic heist,” the Hindustan Times newspaper wrote.
An Indian Express headline read “Miracles Do Happen” and the newspaper explained how Gill had stepped up as captain of a “gun team”.
The Hindu waxed eloquent on the “Mission accomplished”.
“After 25 days of riveting action, the best was saved for the last as Shubman Gil’s men rode Mohammed Siraj’s sensational spell to pull off a remarkable victory,” it said.
“It was a litmus test for an Indian team in transition but the young side showed heart and character as it fought back from tough situations to share the honours.”

Responding to a limp defeat at lowly Castleford Tigers last time out, Warrington showed aggression and energy from the get-go, pinning their hosts deep inside their own territory for much of the opening quarter.
Yet despite their dominant play, steadfast Leigh defence limited them to just two points – Sneyd chipping over a penalty for Joe Ofahengaue’s high tackle on Sam Powell, who had been held up on the line moments earlier.
And having barely set an attacking boot in Wire territory, Leigh were soon level through O’Brien’s penalty for late contact by Wire debutant Ryan Matterson.
Yet order was restored in the 32nd minute when Josh Thewlis, inside his own half on the right wing, cut back into the centre with a breathless run, slaloming through challenges before sending Dufty in under the posts.
If there was hope for a below-par Leigh, and concern for Wire, it was that just one score separated the sides going into the second half.
Sneyd slotted a second penalty before George Williams’ superb kick down the left wing bounced kindly for Jake Thewlis to collect and cross for his eighth Super League try of the season.
Leading 14-2 with 15 minutes left, Dufty had a second score – and a potential decider – overturned by the video referee following a Lachlan Fitzgibbon obstruction.
And two minutes later, and having barely troubled the Warrington line, Leigh were back in it when Hanley stretched out to touch down O’Brien’s deflected grubber kick.
O’Brien’s conversion brought the Leopards back within six points, but Sneyd’s dead-eye penalty from long distance again took the visitors two scores clear.
But once again after a Warrington score was ruled out after a video review – this time from Toby King – Hanley powered through for a second try and O’Brien’s conversion cut the gap to 16-14.
Wire were suddenly hanging on and buckled moments later as Trout capped his 100th Super League appearance with the winning score from close range.
Wardle pierced the Leopards’ resistance after just five minutes, taking a short cut-out pass from Jai Field to dot down for the first time since grabbing a try in Wigan’s last win against Leigh in May.
The score from the decorated centre came in a week that he was called up for an England squad get-together that has had national team boss Shaun Wane calling for greater intensity from Super League’s biggest names as they prepare to take on Australia in the autumn Test series.
The clash of regional rivals delivered on Wane’s demand for a “low-scoring” game which has “teams going at it”.
While Leigh were kept scoreless in the first half, they went close through Frankie Halton, who failed to ground his finish after racing onto a grubber kick from Ipape, while Charnley should have done better to link up with Hodgson when in a promising position after breaking clear.
Leigh finally got their chance to respond thanks to Harry Smith’s attempted 40-20 kick that went long and out on the full.
The hosts made the most getting the ball back inside Wigan’s half, with Tonga international Niu weaving his way over from close range following clever work from Ipape and Lachlan Lam.
Ipape then went over himself at the end of a free-flowing move, with the ball passing through multiple hands before Umyla Hanley sent him clear to touch down under the posts.
And after Charnley had a try of his own ruled out – which would have been the 250th of his career in Super League – Trout profited from an in-goal fumble from Wigan’s defence as they tried to mop up the danger created by a Ipape kick in the final minute.
England’s Ollie Pope scores a century in second day fightback of first Test against India.
Ollie Pope and his latest century spearheaded England to 209-3 after India was bowled out for 471 on Day Two, Saturday, of the test series opener at Headingley.
Pope was 100 not out and the leading scorer as England slashed its deficit to 262 runs by stumps and won the day.
Pope was far from perfect. He survived a testing opening spell from speedster Jasprit Bumrah in gloomy bowler-friendly conditions, narrowly avoided lbw on 34 and was dropped on 60.
He rode his luck to his ninth test hundred and second against India.
Bumrah was England’s greatest threat as expected and took all three home wickets: Zac Crawley in the first over; Ben Duckett on 62 to break his and Pope’s 122-run second-wicket partnership; and Joe Root on 28 to break his and Pope’s 80-run third-wicket partnership.
Bumrah would have had a fourth wicket in the day’s last over — Harry Brook without scoring — but he overstepped for the third time in the over. The world’s best fast bowler was also the victim of two dropped catches in the field.
England wasn’t expected to be batting soon after lunch.
India was 430-3 about half an hour before lunch. A total of at least 550 was on the cards but the demise of captain Shubman Gill for 147 sparked a collapse of 41-7 in 68 balls bridging lunch.
