Lowry could not contain himself when he needed to make the decisive shot, as the US opponents were showing incredible fight, winning against European stars like Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, and Rory McIlroy.

The incredible comeback of Bryson DeChambeau in the match against Matt Fitzpatrick laid the foundation for one of the most remarkable comebacks in golf history.

Nevertheless, Shane Lowry showed resilience on the 18th green, handling the responsible shot and earning points in his match against Russell Henley.

After the game, Lowry could not hold back tears, overwhelmed with emotion from the victory. He initially fell silent, then said:

“I was lucky to experience incredible moments in this game.”

His emotions took over again as he wiped away tears, saying:

“These were the hardest few hours of my life, to be honest.”

After his decisive shot, Lowry joyfully danced on the green, embracing his caddie.

Important victory for Europe

Lowry noted that the Ryder Cup means everything to him:

“The Ryder Cup means everything to me.”

Despite the victory at the Open Championship in Ireland, the Ryder Cup will always be first for him.

Sitting on the 18th green, he felt the weight of the moment:

“We knew the US guys would fight, but... I just hoped one of the guys could get half a point so we could win.”

In the end, Lowry's teammate, Tyrrell Hatton, brought the European team the necessary point, finishing his match tied with Collin Morikawa.

This victory will be particularly sweet for Lowry, who faced hostility from American fans throughout the round. Europe retains the trophy until the next match, which will take place in 2027 in Lowry's home country of Ireland.
