It was an epic collapse by the Americans in the 2012 Ryder Cup, as the Europeans edged out the U.S. on the final day of play in Sunday Singles.

Despite the dismal performance by the Americans on Sunday, there were some highlights that should not go unnoticed for the U.S.

Zach Johnson



Zach Johnson was one of few golfers who scored points for the U.S. on Sunday, as he defeated Graeme McDowell, 2-and-1, in singles play.

Despite just one birdie—which had an outstanding shot of being an eagle—Johnson was able to beat McDowell by parring three holes and birdying the one, as opposed to McDowell's two birdies.

Johnson served as a glimpse of hope for the Americans, as after he beat McDowell, the U.S. had a 12-11 lead over the Europeans.

Johnson's approach—especially with the wedge—were key to his victory against McDowell on Sunday.

Team U.S.A. received great play out of Johnson in the Ryder Cup, as he went 3-1 in the tournament.

 

Dustin Johnson



Dustin Johnson was perfect for the U.S. in the Ryder Cup, going 3-0 during the weekend and giving the Americans all he had.

Johnson was sensational on the final day of the cup, scoring...
