SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Rory McIlroy stared at his ball buried deep in the French sand and held out his arms. Europe captain Thomas Bjorn sent McIlroy out first on Sunday to get the team rolling. “It was a good battle,” McIlroy said to his dad, Gerry, as they made their way off the course. Another Thomas putt, slightly downhill, kissed the lip of the hole on No. Ultimately, McIlroy’s wayward under-pressure tee-shot that landed him in the lunar-like bunker on the final hole didn’t matter: Europe still won the Ryder Cup.
