Europe has retained the Ryder Cup, fending off a furious rally from the United States in singles play Sunday at Bethpage Black. Shane Lowry's birdie putt on No. 18 halved his match with Russell Henley and proved the decisive half-point.

After two fierce days of foursomes and fourballs, it’s singles day at the Ryder Cup. Europe needs only 3 of the 12 points to win, but singles are different. There will be no partners to lean on, no shared strategies, just one shot at a time under the full weight of expectation, noise, and history.

The Ryder Cup has always been golf’s ultimate pressure cooker. Players describe the first tee on Sunday as more nerve-wracking than any major championship. Even world number ones admit to hands shaking, hearts racing, and struggling to tee the ball. It’s more emotional and psychological than it is about talent. At this level, every player is world-class. What decides matches is who can use the pressure they feel to reach a higher level of performance.

Every golfer has faced their own version of “Sunday Singles,” whether in a junior tournament, a club championship, or a money match. The same principles that help Ryder Cup players handle this atmosphere can help you the next time you feel the heat.

Stoicism and the Zone

At Bethpage, the crowd has been loud and at times abusive, but instead of being rattled, the Europeans have remained stoic and drawn strength from it. It’s helped them band together tighter than the Americans.

Follow along with the best highlights.

Viktor Hovland was forced to withdraw from the Ryder Cup with a neck injury. The situation forced the invocation of the "envelope rule" that means Hovland and Team USA's Harris English each earn a half-point.

Yamaha RMX DD Series

Hey everyone! You know how sometimes you just want gear that works without being overly complicated or stiff? Yamaha has seriously delivered on that front with their new RMX DD series. It’s not just a collection of clubs; it’s a full bag setup designed around two things: getting you as close to the legal limit on speed as possible and making sure you hit the sweet spot more often.

Let’s dive into what makes these clubs so cool, from the explosive drivers to the incredibly soft, precise irons.

Yamaha RMX DD Drivers

The Big Sticks: DD-1 vs. DD-2 Drivers

Both drivers share the same core tech—which is frankly awesome—but they split up to cater to different swings.

The Shared Secret: 8-Axis Carbon Face. This is the headline. Yamaha’s gone above and beyond the usual construction to use a super-strong, layered carbon face. Think of it as an efficiency expert: it captures the energy from your swing better than anything they’ve done before and converts it straight into maximum ball speed. Yes, it’s right up to the legal limit.The DD-1 Driver: The Tighter Fit. This model has a slightly sharper, more athletic shape. It’s got a great combination of forgiveness and control, perfect if a player likes to work the ball a little but still wants help on miss-hits. Plus, with three adjustable weight ports (Standard, Draw, and Fade), players can really dial in the exact shot shape they want.The DD-2 Driver: Maximum Forgiveness. If a golfer wants the easiest driver in the line to hit high and straight, this is it. It has a slightly larger, more confidence-inspiring head that’s biased toward a draw. It’s built for stability, making sure those off-center strikes still end up much closer to the fairway.
