SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — The young guns from the U.S. Ryder Cup team have completed the most lopsided win since Europe became part of the event in 1979.
Daniel Berger won the final hole in the final match for the last point and a 19-9 victory at Whistling Straits. The final blow came from Collin Morikawa, at 24 the youngest player on the team and already a two-time major champion. He holed a 3-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole that assured the Americans at least the 14 1/2 points they needed.
Scottie Scheffler showed why he was selected as one of six Ryder Cup rookies on the United States squad, defeating top-ranked Jon Rahm by a 4-3 margin.
Dustin Johnson became the first American since Larry Nelson in 1979 to go 5-0, completing his perfect week by beating Paul Casey in a match he never trailed.
