The Europeans could not hide their delight at the victory on on away soil. Although most had written them off long before the start of this year's edition, the Europeans believed they could celebrate on US soil.
There are many reasons for this, and one of them is certainly the desire for prestige and achieving a great feat.
This year's Ryder Cup was filled with tensions, provocations and tense moments. However, it was the atmosphere we expected, and that was announced many times before the start of the tournament.
The Europeans were convincing in the first two days, having huge confidence, but the third day showed that the pressure still affects them and that it can spoil their plans.

However, Shane Lowry made sure they finished this tournament in style and brought victory to the European team.
The moment of celebration was special. On the way over the bridge, Rory McIlroy and his teammate Matt Fitzpatrick decided to place a flag on the bus over Bryson DeChambeau's name.
Some took this as a provocation.
Reactions
However, some have taken to social media to point out that the Northern Irish golfer has something against Bryson DeChambeau, citing comments that Rory didn't want to talk to him at this year's Masters. Rory McIlroy did not explain the reasons such a behavior, nor did he exaggerate the provocations.
During this year's edition, we could notice how negative the American crowd was towards McIlroy, who could not remain calm at many moments.

This kind of atmosphere, as we have pointed out several times, could be expected, but the most important thing for the Europeans is that they lifted the trophy.
The next edition will certainly bring a similar atmosphere. US golfers are extremely motivated to get revenge. However, we should not look too far into the future at this point, given that many things can change in the next two years.
