The bookie settled all bets – retail and online – for Luke Donald’s men to emerge triumphant this weekend after the 4-0 drubbing in the first session.
It was the first time EVER that Europe had whitewashed the Americans in the opening session.
Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton got the hosts off to the perfect start and the board continued to stay blue.
Their 4&3 win was matched by Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg in the very next match.
Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka won 2&1 with Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood doing likewise in the final match.
At no point during the morning were the Americans ahead at any stage, showing complete dominance from Europe.
Added to the fact that the team from across the pond haven’t won on European soil since 1993, Paddy Power have seen enough to call it now – Europe have won.
Paddy Power spokesperson Rachael Kane said: “If you’re wondering why spectators are chanting “Olé, Olé, Olé”with such gusto in Rome, here’s your answer.
“We’ve hit the big blue button on all bets placed on Europe to win the Ryder Cup outright.
“The last time we did something of this scale, it involved paying out on Hilary Clinton as the next US President and it bit us in the bunker.
“Here’s hoping Zach Johnson’s US team don’t come up Trump’s before the weekend is out.”
