Look! US thrash Europe to win Ryder Cup 2021

Team USA captain Steve Stricker poses with the trophy after winning the Ryder Cup. They regained it with a record 19-9 victory at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

Stricker is embraced by Team USA's Dustin Johnson on stage. Open champion Collin Morikawa claimed the winning half point in the fifth of Sunday's 12 singles matches as the home side raced to the 14½ points they needed.

Victorious Team USA poses for a picture while Europe's Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter - their only winners in the singles - were in tears.

Sergio Garcia of Spain and team Europe in action. Europe captain Harrington conceded: "It's a tough loss, but they were better than us. They were a strong team and played on their best form. They had momentum the whole time."

Patrick Cantlay of team US celebrates with his caddie Matt Minister. There had already been big wins for Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau amid a carnival atmosphere by Lake Michigan, while Dustin Johnson became the first American to win all five matches at a Ryder Cup since 1979.

Team Europe's Sergio Garcia in action. "Unfortunately they were a little better than we were," said Garcia, who extended his points record to 28½ at his 10th Ryder Cup.

Fan in fancy dress during the Singles. This may now be the start of a dynasty for the US, who had lost seven of the previous nine editions of the biennial contest, but have now won successive Ryder Cups on home soil for the first time in 38 years.

Team Europe's Rory McIlroy watches his shot on the 15th hole. The Northern Irishman lost his foursomes and fourball matches on Friday before being left out of a session for the first time since making his Ryder Cup debut in 2010.

Team USA's Dustin Johnson hits his tee shot on the 12th hole. The margin of victory eclipses the 18½-9½ successes enjoyed by Europe in 2004 and 2006 and America's own triumph in 1981.

Scottie Scheffler of team US celebrates. This was a thoroughly deserved win, built on a dominant opening two days for the hosts.
