Europe retain Ryder Cup in Gleneagles


Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell, the target for American jibes earlier in the week, led from the front as Europe won the Ryder Cup for the eighth time in the last 10 contests after being given an early scare at Gleneagles. The home side were overwhelming favourites with a 10-6 overnight lead, but saw McDowell three down after five to rookie Jordan Spieth in the opening match and the unbeaten Justin Rose four down after six to Hunter Mahan. At one point the United States were ahead in six matches, but McIlroy was an approximate eight under par in thrashing Rickie Fowler 5&4 to put the first European point on the board and fellow Northern Irishman McDowell won five out of six holes from the 10th to complete a remarkable 2&1 victory.
