GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — The Ryder Cup is staying in Europe, just like always. Europe had a big lead at Marco Simone outside Rome and made sure it capped off a dominant week.

They were coming off a 10-point win at Whistling Straits and thought this might be the year the U.S. ended three decades of losing on European soil.
