How Europe retained the Ryder Cup on the 18th

  1. Aberg the heropublished at 23:02 BST 28 September

    The stats don't show it, but Patrick Cantlay was the US' best player over the first two days.

    He comfortably played the best golf on their team and is the grittiest of gritty competitors.

    As one of our team says, he is a menace.

    So for Ludvig Aberg to get that point is seriously impressive.

  2. Sensational singlespublished at 23:00 BST 28 September

    The only comprehensive victory was 4&3 - Xander Schauffele against Jon Rahm (who saw that coming?).

    There were four one-hole wins and two 2&1 wins.

    There cannot ever have been a day of singles with so little between two sets of players.

  3. An epic final daypublished at 22:57 BST 28 September

    Five tied matches from 11 singles.

    Just one European win.

    What. A. Day.

  4. Half for MacIntyrepublished at 22:54 BST 28 September

    Burns A/S MacIntyre

    Sam Burns misses!

    It's a half point for Robert MacIntyre!

    They'll be dancing in the bar at Glencruitten!

    What a grandstand finish this would be if Robert McIntyre can hole this.

    All 22 other players watching on.

    Great effort but misses on the left. Conceded.

    Now Sam Burns with a tickler for the one-hole win.

    Sam Burns knocks his effort fully six feet past.

    This game going down 18 - the eighth of the singles - is the most on Ryder Cup Sunday since nine in 1993.

    Middle of the fairway for Robert MacIntyre. Pures that iron shot but it spins back and ends up 25 feet away.

    Sam Burns, from the right bunker, only just makes it on the green and it spins back to the fringe. Very difficult two putt from there, he might even chip that.

    The only European player to win a singles match today - take a bow Ludvig Aberg.

    "It is nervy," said Aberg. "You're playing for a lot more than just yourself which is also why this is so fun. This is why this is the best tournament in the world and I'm glad to have contributed to my team."

    Bit of a party atmosphere around the 18th, but this match is still out there.

    Feel for them a bit; it's a bit like when you're the last one of your friends with an exam still to do.

    This is how it feels to be Europe!

    Shane Lowry spreads his feet and his arms then opens his lungs as he looks to the sky.

    Jon Rahm cuddles Jose Maria Olazabel. He’s in tears. Of course he is.

    Tyrrell Hatton is hoisted into the air.

    Someone pass the beers.

    Europe win the Ryder Cup

    It's been a stressful Sunday but what they said was one of the hardest tasks in golf has been completed.

  14. Europe win the Ryder Cuppublished at 22:43 BST 28 September

    Morikawa A/S Hatton (17)

    Tyrrell Hatton has two putts to win the Ryder Cup for Europe...his first is close enough to guarantee a half point.There'll be no second. It's a gimme.

    Morikawa taps in. Europe reach 14½ points. Job done. Just.

    The Englishman raises his arms aloft as his team-mates pour onto the 18th green to celebrate with him.

  15. Down the lastpublished at 22:42 BST 28 September

    1UP Burns v MacIntyre (17)

    Sam Burns holes his.

    And concedes Robert MacIntyre's.

    That was quite kind in my opinion.

    Down 18 we go.

    MacIntyre hits is past. And that will also be seen. Eek.

    Two proper knee-knockers coming up.

    Morikawa A/S Hatton (17)

    Could this the half point for Europe? Collin Morikawa will be putting from almost 50 feet.

    Tyrrell Hatton is around 15 feet from the pin.

    Still can't get over Shane Lowry's reaction....

    Sam Burns' attempt pulls up shy. Still some work to do.

    So unless MacIntyre does something daft this is going down 18.
