Team USA came out on top in seven of 12 Sunday singles matches at the Ryder Cup, helping them win by six points.

From trademark theatrics to typically outstanding golf, Sunday’s singles session at the Ryder Cup had just about everything. In the end, Team USA managed to hold its overnight lead and come out on top in one of the most prestigious events in golf for only the second time this millennium.

With the USA just five points away from victory at the start of the day, European captain Darren Clarke sent out his top players to kick off the session, hoping that the early pressure would be enough to spark a comeback. While his team managed to squeeze 3.5 points out of the first six matches of the day, the latter half of his lineup was hapless, losing five of six.

With so much golf to cover from a wild day, let’s dive right in. Here’s our breakdown of the singles session at the 2016 Ryder Cup.
