FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Team Europe is taking the Ryder Cup back across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving the Americans to search for answers in what is becoming a lopsided series.

The Americans at least showed a pulse Sunday and made Europe sweat, storming back from the largest Sunday deficit ever against Europe with real hope.

Shane Lowry, who contended with the unruly New York crowds all week, had the last word. He birdied three of the last four holes, and his final putt will be part of Ryder Cup lore for Europe. Russell Henley had a 1-up lead, but his 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th to win the match was short.

Lowry holed his 6-foot birdie to halve the match, giving Europe the 14 points it needed to retain the cup as the defending champion. Three matches remained on the course.
