FINAL DAY SINGLES AT GLENEAGLES WERE MIGHTY CLOSE
EUROPE KEEP THE CUP - BUT THANK
GOODNESS FOR THAT 4pt LEAD!
So Europe keep the Ryder Cup for at least another two years - but it was not quite so easy as the 16 1/2-11 1/2 scoreline suggests.
Europe started the final day's 12 singles with a 4pt lead and they finished up overall winners by 5pt so the singles were pretty even. Europe won five, the Americans 4 and three were halved
Any chance of making future Ryder Cup matches singles only every day? Not a chance! But it's worth a thought.
