Now at the close of day two of the 2025 Ryder Cup and Europe are well on target to easily better their 2004 and 2006 winning margin in leading by seven points and with 12 points on offer in the Singles.
Now with a day remaining in the 2025 Ryder Cup and Luke Donald will lead his men in the final day of the 45th Ryder Cup leading by seven points at 11 1/2 to 4 1/2, only now needing to secure 14 points to retain the trophy while 14 1/2 to win outright.

However Donald’s men will be looking for much more than just 2 1/2 points as Europe really was to rub it in and truly have their USA rivals eat humble pie given the unsavoury taste we’ve witnessed over the two opening days in the Big Apple state.
In one of the most astonishing days in the events history, Donald’s boy’s delivered amid the toxic and somewhat ill-tempered enounters in Ryder Cup history.
Not only have the European players been sickened at being trashed by the locals, it also turned ugly with Donald’s players being abused with vile taunts and actions while there was the unbelievable and disgraceful vugar four-letter word chant from announcer Heather McMahan to a first tee audience in front of thousands of young Ryder Cup fans.
It begged the question who arranged for this woman to be in the position she was and how did she think should could even use such language.
However, and as we witnessed at day’s end, the visitors have not been fazed so much so the day ended with Europeans united as they gathered on the 18th green in signing “Ole, Ole, Ole”.
