Bryson DeChambeau was among the American players who fell just short of Ryder Cup success at Bethpage Black.

Keegan Bradley enjoyed being the USA captain, but his tenure ended in failure as Europe claimed a 15-13 win in New York.

But after losing all four sessions across Friday and Saturday, the USA recovered to win the Sunday singles session at the Ryder Cup.

They were 11.5-4.5 down on home soil going into the last day of action, before impressively fighting back to produce a much more respectable scoreline.

Ludvig Aberg secured the only European point from the 11 singles contests, with the Swede edging past Patrick Cantlay 2&1.

DeChambeau was left emotional after his singles match against European Matt Fitzpatrick, one of several that were halved.

And offering his verdict on the match itself, the American said: “Yeah, today I didn’t get off to the best of starts, and Matt was playing really well.

“It’s one of those situations where I didn’t play bad. I just didn’t have anything go my way. Three-putted 3 and just didn’t really get anything going until No. 8. Gave me a little glimmer of hope and I took it.

“You know, it was one of those situations where I just thought back to what Xander [Schauffele] said, ‘It’s not over till the whistle blows’.

“And I wasn’t willing to give up for this team. They have been so amazing to me this week, and for however long I’ve known myself to be on this team, they have just been incredible. I couldn’t give up for these guys.

“And so my thought process was to just keep swimming, just keep moving and keep fighting back. I fought my a– off today for this team, for this country, and we all fought hard today.

“You can see, it reflects in the leaderboard and what we did today. We’re not quitters. We’re not people that go down easy.

“So, so proud to be a part of this team, and it was great to get a half-point out of it. Wish I would have gotten a point, though.”

Why Bryson DeChambeau deserves praise despite losing the Ryder Cup with the USA

DeChambeau may have only claimed 1.5 points for Bradley’s side, but he certainly played a very important role at Bethpage Black.

The LIV Golf star was often the conductor of the American fans, helping raise the atmosphere at the iconic venue.

And that atmosphere undoubtedly inspired the home team on Sunday, where they fell just short of one of the greatest sporting comebacks ever.

The two-time major winner was involved in a particularly epic comeback all by himself, having come from five down to tie with Fitzpatrick.

DeChambeau was called a “captain’s nightmare” ahead of the event, but he was indeed the exact opposite throughout the week.

The other American players will have been really grateful for his presence, and the same can be said of the home fans.

They were treated to his ever-popular antics with and without his club in hand, with DeChambeau making unforgettable memories for many fans.

His appearance at the event itself incidentally deserves to be highlighted given he was the only LIV player to automatically qualify for the USA, which was an extremely tricky task that he made look very easy.
