This was where the momentum swung once and for all in favour of the Europeans, with Scheffler\u2019s brave rebound from the humiliation of 24 hours ago dissipating at the death.<\/p>\n<p>Had he clung to his one-hole lead, it could have been the precursor to some Medinah-type comeback.<\/p>\n<p>The USA were up in five of the following seven games and the projections were starting to look promising.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/01\/22\/76048727-0-image-a-38_1696196093796.jpg\" height=\"441\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Scottie Scheffler&#8217;s epic duel with Jon Rahm ended with a tie on the 18th on Sunday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/01\/22\/76009573-0-Scottie_Scheffler_was_reduced_to_tears_after_suffering_a_humilia-a-39_1696196234540.jpg\" height=\"354\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Scheffler was reduced to tears after suffering a humiliating 9&amp;7 defeat on Saturday<\/p>\n<p>The sturdy figure of Rahm proved too much in this first singles meeting between Masters champions of the previous two years. It hardly seemed fitting, given their magnificent battle, that the American ended up becoming the first world No 1 to go winless at the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Rahm had warm words for him at the end of a pulsating encounter rich with superb shotmaking, and he respected the show of emotion on Saturday, when Scheffler was pictured weeping in the arms of his wife.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We had a great match and I told Scottie at the end that we all get emotional,\u2019 said Rahm.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I can tell you in the first two days here Luke (Donald) was showing us videos and I couldn\u2019t stop crying in any one of them.
