SHEBOYGAN (SNN-TV) – Team USA, with its youngest team in history, clinched the 43rd Ryder Cup when 24-year-old Collin Morikawa holed a 3-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole that assured the Americans at least 14 1/2 points.
They finished with a 19-9 rout, the largest margin of victory since the modern format of the Ryder Cup was adopted.
Dustin Johnson became the first American since Larry Nelson in 1979 to go 5-0, completing his perfect week by beating Paul Casey, 1 up.
Team Europe will have to wait a couple years to regain the trophy, as the 44th Ryder Cup will be held in Rome, Italy in the fall of 2023.
