SHEBOYGAN (Wis.) -- With a strong performance by their youngest ever team, the Americans won back Sunday's Ryder Cup.
Scottie Scheffler was one of six Ryder Cup newcomers to the Americans. With a victory of 4 and 3 over Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler was the No. 1 player in the world. The scoreboards around Whistling Straits were quickly filled with American red.
Collin Morikawa was the final blow. At 24 years old, he is the youngest player on team and has been a two-time major champion. The American team was assured at least 14 points by Collin Morikawa's 3-foot birdie putt on 17th hole.
It was then a matter for the last margin.
Patrick Cantlay finished a week of unbeaten play with a victory over Shane Lowry.
"We have a lot young men. They're going to be in teams for a long while, so I wanted to send them a message."
Tony Finau, the host of these matches, had stated that this was "the biggest one" because Europe had won 9 of the previous 12, and America had so many new faces who were not harmed by the years of watching Europe celebrate.
One big rout was the result of this big one.
They were young and talented, having four of the top five world rankings. They finally played like it.
