U.S. brings home first Ryder Cup since 2008

Maybe not the best team ever assembled, the Americans were every bit of a team in finally winning back the Ryder Cup.

Phil Mickelson led the Americans behind closed doors, Patrick Reed powered them with his passion on the golf course, and Ryan Moore, who a week ago wasn't even on the team, delivered the cup-clinching point Sunday at Hazeltine National Golf Club.

Moore finished eagle-birdie-par for a 1-up victory over Lee Westwood, and the celebration was on. The United States beat Europe 17-11, picking up their first victory since 2008 and only the third over the past two decades.
