We tee-off with Golf and Graeme McDowell won the Ryder Cup for Europe after a Celtic Manor classic that crowned captain Colin Montgomerie's golfing career.
US Open champion McDowell's 3&1 victory over Hunter Mahan gave Europe a dramatic 14.5 to 13.5 triumph over the United States to regain the trophy.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson – world number one and two players finally found their form to claim emphatic victories over Francesco Molinari and Peter Hanson, respectively.
However their victories were not enough for the defending champions as the European team now has held the upper hand, winning 6 out of the last 8 Ryder Cups including 4 of the last 5.

Tevez is unhappy with the high-flying side's negative tactics this season.
Elsewhere with the international break this weekend – Kevin Davies has admitted he thought he was the subject of a prank call when the Bolton striker was given his belated England call yesterday.
