The United States crushed Europe 19-9 to recapture the Ryder Cup on Sunday in a performance captain Steve Stricker called the greatest of all time. Collin Morikawa, 24, World No. 3, delivered the winning half point when he tied his match with Viktor Hovland at Whistling Straits.

He was one of eight 20-somethings on a US team that featured nine players in the world’s Top 11—all gunning to regain the coveted trophy won by Europe in France three years ago. “Speechless,” US captain Steve Stricker said, tearing up as he talked of the commitment that resulted in dominant victory.
