What happened:
Europe took the opening foursomes 3-1 then followed up with a 2.5-1.5 advantage in the fourballs to lead 5.5-2.5 after day one.
3-1 wins for Europe in both formats on day two to stretch the lead to 11.5-4.5. That became 12-5 when Viktor Hovland pulled out of the singles with a neck injury so was given half a point along with USA 'envelope' man Harris English.
The incredible US fightback in the singles actually made the tie look like a possibility but in the end Europe won the cup 15-13, and that's good too.
