Europe won the Ryder Cup away from home for the first time in 13 years after they survived a remarkable United States comeback on a dramatic Sunday in New York.
The visitors had started the day with an 11½-4½ lead at Bethpage but were made to battle on a nerve-shredding afternoon before Shane Lowry retained the trophy and Tyrrell Hatton sealed a 15-13 victory.
Needing ten points for the biggest comeback in Ryder Cup history, the U.S. won five of the top seven matches and with the contests down the order on a knife edge, so was the destination of the cup.
But Ludvig Åberg beat Patrick Cantlay 2&1 and Matt Fitzpatrick tied with Bryson DeChambeau to leave the stage clear for Lowry.
The Irishman had been two down with four to play against Russell Henley but a stunning approach to the 15th saw him go down the last knowing a win would retain the cup.
Henley found sand off the tee but hit a beautiful recovery to ten feet only to see Lowry get inside him on the same line.
The American left his effort short and Lowry holed from six feet before setting off dancing across the green before bursting into tears.
Hatton then hit a wonderful approach of his own into the last to tie with Collin Morikawa and seal a fifth European win on U.S. spoil since 1979.
