Ryder Cup golf: Europe responds to America fans' abuse
Morning Rundown: GOP’s shutdown claims, FCC chair to testify after Kimmel blowback, and Jane Goodall remembered
LONDON — Europe may have defeated the United States in golf’s marquee event. But the verbal abuse hurled at the European players by a baying, boozed-up New York crowd left a sour taste Monday, with calls for tighter policing of American spectators.
The scenes at the Ryder Cup were unrecognizable from golf’s genteel archetype, in which etiquette demands silence on the tee and applause greets opponents’ drives and putts. Instead, the Bethpage Black Course, on Long Island, descended this weekend into a bear pit of personal insults, vulgar chanting and — in one instance — a beer thrown at the wife of star Rory McIlroy.
Ryder Cup 2025 highlights: Europe wins cup despite furious US comeback
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Nobody can ever say the United States 2025 Ryder Cup team rolled over. On the final day of competition, the Americans won six of the 11 singles matches and tied three others.
Because of the significant hole in which they entered the final day of competition, the USA lost to Europe, with the Europeans becoming the first team to win the tournament on foreign soil since they did so in 2012.
Only Ludvig Åberg recorded a full victory for the Europeans, who avoided a potential all-time chokejob by doing enough in the first four sessions of the tournament and entered the final day with a 11.5-4.5 lead.

Scottie Scheffler has a Ryder Cup problem
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — There’s a blown-up photo of Scottie Scheffler hanging in a corner of this sprawling Ryder Cup property. It’s from four years ago, but it feels like a lifetime away. The face is clean-shaven. The hairline is a little fuller. He’s raising his arms above his head in joy off the coast of Lake Michigan, an inexperienced 25-year-old with no expectation or weight on his shoulders. He had just shocked the No. 1 player, Jon Rahm, announcing himself to the world.
Then there’s the face live and in person on the 18th fairway Saturday morning in New York. That face is seasoned with a beard. It’s the face of a father. A face that’s supposed to win any time it tees off. But just 116 yards from the tee, down one, hitting what could strangely be the most consequential 18th hole approach of his career thus far, Scheffler’s face sank in disgust.
