Ryder Cup format and scoring system explained<\/p>\n

USA TODAY Sports’ Chris Bumbaca explains how Ryder Cup scoring works from Bethpage Golf Course.<\/p>\n

Shane Lowry played a key role in helping Europe retain the Ryder Cup<\/a> on Sunday, Sept. 28.<\/p>\n

Lowry made a putt on the 18th hole for birdie at Bethpage Black and immediately became emotional.<\/p>\n

Europe had to hold off a big rally from the U.S. team on Day 3 of the event as the Americans put themselves in a position to finish out the event during the later part of singles play in a tie.<\/p>\n

But Team USA was unable to pull off the comeback after Tyrrell Hatton (Europe) and Collin Morikawa (USA) finished their match in a tie, awarding the half point that Europe needed to secure the cup.<\/p>\n

The Ryder Cup had only finished in a tie twice during the event\u2019s history. Those results came in 1969 and 1989.<\/p>\n
