European team captain Luke Donald expressed his gratitude and happiness after winning (via the Guardian):
“I’m pretty emotional. I enjoyed this one, it was stressful! USA put up a fight today. They really did, hats off to them, unbelievable. I’m so proud of my guys. We formed a bond from day one. They trusted me and they delivered for me.
"This is why the Ryder Cup is so special we play for each other. We’ll share these memories forever. I couldn’t ask for a better setting here. Historic Rome, we made history here today.”
Team Europe will now enjoy a well-deserved victory on home soil, as Team US looks to reconvene and hopefully fight for the Ryder Cup in its next edition.
