The Irishman was one of seven Europeans on the 2021 team that lost decisively at Whistling Straits but returned the favor in Rome.
With 1½ points on his tally sheet that included a crucial half point down the stretch against Jordan Spieth, Lowry was a cog in a bigger machine and he was not only O.K. with that, but he relished in the fact he helped his teamAfter being part of the 2021 Ryder Cup team at Whistling Straits, where the Americans took no prisoners in a 19-9 blowout, Lowry wanted desperately to be part of a 2023 Ryder Cup winner.
“I said at the start of the week in here, I said, I don't care if I make no points but as long as we win, it's—that's not what matters to me,” Lowry said with the Irish flag draped around his shoulders. “What matters to me is winning, and I'm very happy and very proud of the lads.” “I couldn't believe what we were seeing on the board, to be honest,” Lowry said. “Those last couple of hours were probably two of the most stressful hours on the golf course I've had.”
From 26 yards away, down in the depression below the green, Lowry hit up to 16 feet where a par would assure at least a half-point and secure the Ryder Cup.
