poulter comes alive at this event. he beat just injunction the world number one to put europe on the brink. and the winning moment came in the sixteenth phil mickelson playing his twelfth and most likely final ryder cup so his ball sink with it the u.s. challenge he conceded to francesco molinari it's a these open champion is the first european ever to win all five matches so only fitting it was his point to secure the cup i was livid there was still matches to complete out on course and europe and it up finishing seven points clear with an emotional sergio garcia replacing nick faldo as europe's all time leading point scorer i know everybody is there just a troll who has a little overweight a partner who was saying say that i don't know how to do. proper dog you know today
