The Americans are taking defeat in excellent, gracious spirit.

After Patrick Reed jokingly shushed the crowd after his match, Bryson DeChambeau has strode up the 15th conducting the home fans in their celebratory songs.

He is one down to Alex Noren on the 16th tee.

Sergio Garcia, on beating Sir Nick Faldo's overall Ryder Cup points record, speaking to Sky Sports: "It means a lot but I've always said it's about the team, and I'm happy I was able to help. It's a bonus, it's something that I would never have thought possible."

Henrik Stenson, who beat Bubba Watson 5&4, on BBC Radio 5 live: "The crowd has been amazing it's been such an honour to be part of the team. We played our hearts out - that's why we are here standing with the Ryder Cup. Everyone has to tackle the match like it's the most important one.

"I didn’t give Bubba anything. I played my best round of golf this week and it was a comfortable ride on the back nine. I was just trying to get the points and saw the other guys were doing well, so just tried to keep my concentration."

Another point for the US as Patrick Reed brings his nightmare week to a positive close with a 3&2 win over Tyrrell Hatton.

Fair play, he gives a joke shush to the crowd. I quite like that. The win doesn't mean much now, but it shows he has a sense of humour.

Thorbjorn Olesen has cracked open a beer. He’s hugging fans and absolutely lapping it up!

Sergio Garcia, speaking to Sky Sports: "I don't usually cry, but I couldn't help it. What a week. It's been a rough year, but we fought hard. I'm so thankful to Thomas Bjorn for believing in me. I'm so happy to get the cup back and in Paris and to enjoy it as much I did."

European captain Thomas Bjorn, speaking to Sky Sports: "I’m probably a bit prouder today than I was on Thursday evening. It's been easy - they’ve been amazing; all 12 of them have been unbelievable.

"They were so determined. They set out to do a job, so it was easy for me to guide them in that direction. They stood up to it. So many things have happened this week, so many great stories but it's down to 12 players and them only.

"This is such special event, when you come in with right attitude it's such a great thing. I couldn’t believe they would stand up like they did, but they did because of the 12.

"[I should] wrap them up and take them to America for the next one. It was getting tough but in general I had belief and faith in the team that they were going to deliver.

"It's the Ryder Cup. They come away from home and it’s tough. Our team wanted it so much this week - that’s why they did what they did."

Paul Casey on BBC Radio 5 live: "To try and get back on the team after 10 years, and then contribute and then this outcome, it's an absolute dream. I'm so proud."

Sergio Garcia overtakes Nick Faldo as the most successful Ryder Cup player in history, with 25.5 points.

And that one meant as much as any of them. The Spaniard is snorting back the tears as he embraces his family and caddy.

Henrik Stenson is handed a bottle of champagne as his match against Bubba Watson comes to an end.

He wraps it up with plenty to spare.

Europe's Francesco Molinari speaking to Sky Sports: This means more than Majors, more than anything. It is hard not too get emotional when you think of the vice-captians, the other players, the wives, it is unreal.

"I just tried to do things well and be professional and I had an amazing partner in Tommy alongside me. It never felt like I had a rookie alongside me. The team spirit has been the best I have been a part of."

There are still some golf matches to finish yet, but control has been lost a little at Le Golf National. The crowd have taken over, which while amazing to see, is a little concerning for some of the players.

Four matches are still to finish. Not sure how that's going to happen right now. The 16th tee, where Francesco Molinari won it, is absolutely nuts.

Tommy Fleetwood is loving it. His long-flowing locks are getting more than a few ruffles.

Ian: Royal Mail, this postman, Ian Poulter even delivers on a Sunday.

David: Ian Poulter doesn't lose singles match at the Ryder Cup. Name someone else with a better record I’ll wait....

Neil: The Ryder Cup is coming home.

Europe's Rory McIlroy speaking to BBC Radio 5 live: "Awesome. We took a really tough loss in Hazeltine a couple of years ago. People questioned the picks and quality and we showed this week our cohesiveness and togetherness."

Confirmation that Europe have won the Ryder Cup. Tommy Fleetwood is standing above the crowd and Jesus-like he is saluting his disciples.
