Europe win the Ryder Cup (again!)
Swings club, shout's "FORE", scarpers back to UK forum.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson robbed Darren Clarke of a fairytale ending but home fans were still in raptures as Europe strolled to a 18½-9½ victory over America in the 36th Ryder Cup at the K Club.

Europe led 10-6 going into the singles after winning each of the first four sessions 2½-1½, and triumphed in eight matches and halved one to equal the record score of Oakland Hills two years ago.

Stenson's win over fellow rookie Vaughn Taylor on the 15th took Europe to 15 points, half a point more than they needed to ensure they lifted the cup for an unprecedented third straight time.

Captain Ian Woosnam had sent Northern Ireland's Clarke out in the seventh match with a view to him possibly holing the decisive putt and completing a remarkable comeback from personal tragedy. But such was Europe's dominance in the singles that the crucial blow fell to Stenson in the match behind him.
