Europe Storms Past U.S. in Ryder Cup Foursomes, Retains Cup in Sight
26 Sep
Summary
- Europe wins 3-1 in morning foursomes
- U.S. only point came in final match
- Europe needs 11 points from remaining 24 matches to retain Ryder Cup
On September 27, 2025, the Ryder Cup competition between the United States and Europe got off to a strong start for the European team. In the morning foursomes matches, Europe stormed past the U.S. 3-1, continuing their recent dominance in the opening sessions of the biennial event.
The only point the U.S. managed to salvage came in the final match, where Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay defeated Viktor Hovland and Robert MacIntyre 2-up. However, the rest of the morning matches were lopsided, with all three of Europe's victories concluded before the groups reached the 16th hole.
The U.S. team, led by captain Keegan Bradley, now faces an uphill battle to regain the Ryder Cup. Europe needs just 11 points from the remaining 24 matches to retain the trophy they won in 2023. The afternoon four-ball pairings will be crucial as both teams look to gain an advantage heading into the weekend.
