In the 2018 Ryder Cup held from September 28 to 30 at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, Paris, Jim Furyk led the USA team to a disappointing 17.5–10.5 loss against Europe. The USA began the tournament on a positive note, securing three points in the morning fourballs, but faltered in the afternoon foursomes, ending Day 1 with a 5–1 deficit. Despite a valiant effort on Sunday, where Justin Thomas and Webb Simpson secured wins, the USA could not overcome the European team's dominance. Notably, Francesco Molinari of Europe had an outstanding performance, finishing with a perfect 5–0–0 record. This loss marked a continuation of Europe's strong home advantage, having won every Ryder Cup held on their soil since 1993. Furyk's team featured several prominent players, but only Thomas and Jordan Spieth delivered significant contributions.
