SHANE LOWRY could not control his emotions following his crucial putt to retain the Ryder Cup for Team Europe. He continued in his post-match interview: "The Ryder Cup means everything to me honestly. "I've won the Open in Ireland, it's amazing it's a dream come true but the Ryder Cup for me is everything. The victory will be especially sweet to Lowry, who got into it with American fans after receiving abuse throughout the tournament. Europe will retain the trophy until the next edition, set to be held in 2027 in Lowry's homeland of Ireland.
