Europe held off a momentous fightback from Team USA to retain the Ryder Cup in an epic final-day battle at Bethpage Black.
Shane Lowry was the man to make sure the trophy would remain in Luke Donald's hands, the big Irishman dancing with delight after making a clutch birdie on the 18th to snatch a tie with Russell Henley.
And in match 10, Tyrrell Hatton's tied match with Collin Morikawa secured outright victory as Europe stumbled over the line, with the final score being 15-13.

Several of Donald's senior players ran out of steam on a tension-packed Sunday in New York, with the likes of Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Jon Rahm running on empty after playing five gruelling sessions.
The projected record-breaking victory looked on in the early stages as Europe led in the top five matches, with Matt Fitzpatrick storming into a 5-hole lead over Bryson DeChambeau approaching the turn.
But Ludvig Aberg was the only player to notch a victory throughout the day as Justin Rose, Fleetwood and McIlroy were all pipped at the final hole, while DeChambeau pulled off a sensational comeback to tie his thrilling encounter with Fitzpatrick.
Rose came back from 3-down against Cameron Young, only for the American to birdie the last and Justin Thomas did the same to earn victory over Fleetwood.
McIlroy looked jaded from the start against world No 1 Scottie Scheffler, who managed to avoid becoming the first American player to lose five out of five matches in a single Ryder Cup, clinching a 1up win over the world No 2.
Aberg's lone victory proved priceless, as did the half-point that was enforced before the start of play when Viktor Hovland was forced to pull out of his singles match against Harris English due to his neck injury that worsened overnight.
Lowry was 2 down with 4 to play in match 8 against Henley, but the former Open champion reduced the arrears at 15 and stepped up for his team at the last, rattling in a 6-foot putt for birdie to ensure the valuable 14th point.
Hatton made certain of the outright win, and Bob MacIntyre also won the 18th to tie his match with Sam Burns as the New York fans departed Bethpage in droves, not wishing to hang around and watch Europe celebrate their first win on American soil since the Miracle at Medinah in 2012.
For all the results from the first two days, click here.
1UP Cameron Young v Justin Rose (14)
This is some effort from the oldest player at Bethpage.
Rose knocks in a 12-footer for birdie at the short 14th, and Young can't match that from half the distance.
The American is just 1 up now with 4 to play.
Justin Thomas A/S Tommy Fleetwood (13)
Fleetwood is clearly feeling tired in his fifth match of the week, but he's rolled in a priceless birdie putt on the 13th from 20 feet.
Thomas cannot answer, and match 2 is back to all square
Russell Henley A/S Shane Lowry (9)
Henley takes one blue off the board with a cracking second to 5 feet at the 9th. That's a birdie that Lowry cannot match, and we're back to all square
Sam Burns v Bob MacIntyre 1UP (6)
We've not seen much of the anchor match today, but it's just turned blue after MacIntyre stiffs his second to the 6th and makes a winning birdie.
2UP Cameron Young v Justin Rose (13)
There's a long hold up at the 13th after Rose carved a driver off the deck miles right, and we have a big debate over where he can drop.
Keegan Bradley gets involved, and it's decided Rose can drop near the grandstand. It's a big ask to find the green, but he's clipped it to 6 feet!
Young's birdie putt hangs on the edge of the cup, and Rose wins the hole with one of the best birdies of his career!
Bryson DeChambeau v Matt Fitzpatrick 3UP (11)
DeChambeau's putt for birdie on 12 catches just enough of the hole to drop in the back, but Fitzpatrick replies with a brilliant 12-footer for the half.
Fantastic stuff from the Englishman
Patrick Cantlay v Ludvig Aberg 1UP (10)
Poor approach by Cantlay at the 10th leads to bogey.
Aberg finds the heart of the green and lags well to edge back ahead in match 5
Scottie Scheffler A/S Rory McIlroy (11)
McIlroy is running on fumes, but he's drained a monster putt for a bonus birdie at the 11th to level his clash with Scheffler.
After the shenanigans at the 10th, that will give him a huge lift
1UP Justin Thomas v Tommy Fleetwood (12)
What a turnaround in match 2.
Another superb iron from Thomas leaves him 7 feet for birdie and, after Fleetwoods long-range effort shaves the right edge, JT rolls his in to take the lead.
USA now up in 4 matches
Xander Schauffele A/S Jon Rahm (9)
Schauffele gets another long putt to drop for birdie against Rahm, but the Spaniard replies with a perfect putt of his own to stay on level terms.
1UP Collin Morikawa v Tyrrell Hatton (5)
What a momentum shift we've seen.
The US are now ahead in four matches after Morikawa bins another big putt against Hatton at the 5th.
1UP Scottie Scheffler v Rory McIlroy (10)
McIlroy is all over the place at 10. Duck hook into sand, wild second into the crowd, pitch over the green and a duffed chip.
Scheffler is also wayward, but wins the hole with a bogey as McIlroy's putt from the fringe pulls up half an inch short.
3UP Cameron Young v Justin Rose (12)
It's looking like a USA win in the top match as Young atones for a shanked chip with a superb putt to win the 12th.
Justin Thomas A/S Tommy Fleetwood (11)
It's been an encouraging half an hour for the Americans, and Thomas has just levelled match 2 against Fleetwood with an excellent birdie at 11.
Europe are now ahead in only two matches.
Bryson DeChambeau v Matt Fitzpatrick 3UP (10)
Fitzpatrick stops the bleeding with a sublime up and down at the 10th, although Bryson does likewise to stay 3 down.
1UP Ben Griffin v Rasmus Hojgaard (4)
Griffin made a mess of the 4th to hand a hole back to Hojgaard, who wasn't far off stealing the 5th from over 40 feet.
Collin Morikawa A/S Tyrrell Hatton (4)
There's a bit of encouragement for Team USA right now, and Morikawa has tied it up with Hatton in style.
He's biffed a great second to 10 feet at the long 4th, and he makes it for eagle to win the hole.
Patrick Cantlay A/S Ludvig Aberg (8)
Cantlay hits the shot of the day at the short 8th to 3 feet, and the resulting birdie levels his clash with Aberg.
Justin Thomas v Tommy Fleetwood 1UP (10)
Fleetwood bunkers his second to the 10th and can't salvage par, but Thomas can and Tommy's lead is halved.
11 matches on the course.
Europe up in 6
USA up in 2
3 tied matches
Russell Henley v Shane Lowry (5)
Henley gets into trouble after a tugged approach to the 5th and not the best of chips.
Lowry's cast-iron par takes the Irishman back ahead
Bryson DeChambeau v Matt Fitzpatrick 3UP (9)
DeChambeau suddenly has a spring back in his step as he pulls another hole back at the 9th.
He's been out of sorts on the greens this week, but he's drained a 25-footer for the win here and he's back to 3 down.
Xander Schauffele A/S Jon Rahm (6)
That's more like tje Jon Rahm we know and love.
The Spaniard clips a precise wedge in close at the 6th to set up a birdie and a win.
This match is back to all square
JJ Spaun v Sepp Straka 1UP (5)
Straka gives a hole back against Spaun.
The Austrian pulled his approach left and played a nice pitch to 5 feet, but he's off target with the par putt.
Sam Burns A/S Bob MacIntyre (2)
It's been a tidy start for MacIntyre, who almost holed his second to the 1st.
He and Burns halve the 2nd with birdies, and this is the last match on the course.
