Sure! Here’s a paraphrased version of the article structured in HTML format:
<div>
<h2>1. A Dull Start Leads to an Exciting Finale</h2>
<p>In every Ryder Cup Sunday, despite the score, there comes a moment when a comeback seems achievable. You glance at the scoreboard and think, <em>if we just win this match and snag that one, we could turn it around...</em></p>
<p>Sunday showcased that feeling times ten with an impressive performance from the Americans. It's remarkable how momentum can feel so real, even if it's intangible. While the first two days lacked excitement, Sunday rejuvenated the event. Nothing compares to representing your country (or continent).</p>
<h2>2. Shane Lowry: A Heartfelt Champion</h2>
<p>Shane Lowry expresses his emotions more deeply than most golfers, showing his vulnerability whether he's struggling or succeeding. Yet, he remains one of the kindest individuals you'll meet.</p>
<p>I’ve built a friendship with him over the last few years. He graciously hosted me, my dad, and friends at his club in Ireland this past July, culminating in a memorable Ryder Cup match where he eagled the 18th to seal our fate. Such moments are unforgettable for us.</p>
<p>Shane yearns for a return to the glory of his victory at Royal Portrush in 2019, which is a career highlight for many. However, his passion for this competition makes this event more significant for him. Good things often happen to good people.</p>
<h2>3. Shift from Home Team Advantage to European Supremacy</h2>
<p>Preparation for this Ryder Cup highlighted that home teams usually have the upper hand. Critics feared for the event's future if they continued to succeed consistently.</p>
<p>Currently, though, the narrative has shifted to European dominance, having won 2 of the last 4 editions held in the U.S. They’ve claimed victory in 11 of the last 15 contests, often rendering Sunday afternoons for recent Cups predictable and uneventful.</p>
<h2>4. Disappointing Performances from American Stars</h2>
<p>Many top American players have notably poor records in Ryder Cups—names like Tiger, Phil, Furyk, Spieth, and now Scottie, highlight this issue. Unlike the European team, which boasts players with a strong competitive pedigree, American stars seem to struggle under pressure.</p>
<h2>5. The 'Envelope Rule' Needs Reevaluation</h2>
<p>Even though it may not have impacted the overall outcome, the "envelope rule" seems illogical. Why does a team that can’t field a full squad get half points? Shouldn't that match be forfeited? It raises questions about fairness.</p>
<p>This isn’t a critique of Viktor Hovland’s injury legitimacy; he would have been a valuable player if healthy. However, this rule appears outdated and should be revised. Additionally, eliminating the 'Retains the Cup' concept in favor of a sudden-death playoff would enhance the excitement and fairness of the tournament.</p>
<h2>6. Cameron Young Stands Out for Team USA</h2>
<p>Cameron Young made a significant impact this week. After a strong finish to the season, he earned his spot on the team and performed remarkably on such a big stage. This experience can reshape a player’s self-perception, reminiscent of Scottie Scheffler’s breakthrough after his Ryder Cup performance.</p>
<h2>7. Players, Not Captains, Define the Ryder Cup's Outcome</h2>
<p>The outcome of the Ryder Cup shouldn't rest on Captain Keegan Bradley’s shoulders. Despite the urge to find a scapegoat after a disappointing week, the players ultimately determine the results. Whether Scottie’s performance or Europe’s strong play, the responsibility lies with the individuals involved, not the captain.</p>
