United States completed a record-breaking 19-9 victory against
Europe in the Ryder Cup as Daniel Berger defeated Matt Fitzpatrick 1-up in
Sunday’s last match. This is the biggest blowout since the competition was
changed to its current format in 1979.

The US went 7-3-2 on the final day and closed without losing
any of the five sessions at Whistling Straits. The previous biggest victory for
Team USA was 18 1/2 points to 9 1/2 back in 1981. Europe won by that score in
2004 and 2006.

Dustin Johnson created a record of a clean sweep and joined
Larry Nelson and Arnold Palmer as the third American to go 5-0 in Ryder Cup
matches. He is the first American to do so since 1979.

Ian Poulter was one of the bright spots for Europe, perhaps
the only one as he defeated Tony Finau 3 and 2 to improve to 6-0-1 in singles
over his career.

But he could not prevent the win by a US team that boasts of
having 11 players in the top 20 of the golfing world. There was only one player in Team USA who was not
in the top 20, Scottie Scheffler. And he was the one who knocked off world number
one Jon Rahm 4 and 3 in singles to hand him his first loss of the week.
