Today’s Single matches were a rollercoaster that ultimately ended in Team Europe’s win of the 2025 Ryder Cup. After a strong start on Friday, Saturday and even this morning, Team Europe looked like they had a green light all the way to the cup. However, the Americans turned on the heat halfway through their matches and ended up winning 6 and halving 5. Team Europe only won one match today.
Team Europe won the Ryder Cup 15-13, a score not many would’ve predicted after Team USA‘s slow start. Below is a breakdown of the Singles match results.
Match 1: Cameron Young (Team USA) defeated Justin Rose (Team Europe) 1 UP
Young won the 18th hole to earn the U.S. its first point of the day.
Match 2: Justin Thomas (Team USA) defeated Tommy Fleetwood (Team Europe) 1 UP
Thomas’ hole-out eagle on hole 6 changed the momentum, with Thomas also winning the 18th hole to gain the point.
Match 3: Bryson DeChambeau (Team USA) tied with Matt Fitzpatrick (Team Europe)
Fitzpatrick’s strong start had him 5 UP thru 7, but DeChambeau never lost a hole after that.
Match 4: Scottie Scheffler (Team USA) defeated Rory McIlroy (Team Europe) 1 UP
The two greats battled back and forth all day, with the deciding win on hole 14 being enough to carry Scheffler through for a Team USA point.
Match 5: Patrick Cantlay (Team USA) lost to Ludvig Aberg (Team Europe), 2&1
While this seemed like an even match, Aberg was able to pull through and keep his momentum going.
Match 6: Xander Schauffele (Team USA) defeated Jon Rahm (Team Europe), 4&3
While Rahm had an impressive performance this week, he just couldn’t keep up with Schauffele, who took an early lead on the first two holes and powered back on the back nine.
Match 7: JJ Spaun (Team USA) defeated Sepp Straka (Team Europe), 2&1
Spaun and Straka had quite the colorful scorecard. Straka tried to hold on with a win on the 16th hole but ultimately couldn’t beat Spaun on 17 to keep the match going.
Match 8: Russell Henley (Team USA) tied with Shane Lowry (Team Europe)
Lowry’s putt on 18 to win the hole and tie the match was the half point that guaranteed the cup would stay with Europe in the case of a tie (14-14).
Match 9: Ben Griffin (Team USA) defeated Rasmus Hojgaard (Team Europe) 1 UP
Another even match, the point came down to the back nine where Griffin was able to win hole 15 and hold out through 18 for another Team USA point.
Match 10: Collin Morikawa (Team USA) tied with Tyrrell Hatton (Team Europe)
Morikawa and Hatton found themselves in a tight match where Hatton’s win on hole 12 was enough to halve the point since this pairing stayed all square the last 6 holes. This half point won Team Europe the cup.
Match 11: Sam Burns (Team USA) tied with Robert MacIntyre (Team Europe)
Like Lowry, MacIntyre won the 18th hole to keep Team Europe in contention and give them another half point. With so many of the later matches in flux, MacIntyre’s half point was an added buffer for Team Europe.
Match 12: Harris English (Team USA) tied with Viktor Hovland (Team Europe)
Due to Hovland’s continued neck injury from Saturday, this match was never contested and was automatically halved. Today’s matches started at 12-5, Europe.
