The victory was the third straight for Team Europe, and its fifth win out of the last six.
In 28 matches played at this Ryder Cup, Americans managed only six match wins. Only Tiger Woods and Scott Verplank had winning records among the Americans; Phil Mickelson went 0-4-1.
On the European side, Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood each earned four points for the team, while Darren Clarke, Luke Donald and Jose Maria Olazabal all went 3-0-0. Clarke was playing barely a month after the death of his wife from breast cancer.
Europe held the lead after every session, and routed the Americans in singles by a score of 8-3-1 (eight wins, three losses, one draw).
