The United States have regained the Ryder Cup with a convincing 17-11 win over Europe at Hazeltine.
Ryan Moore's 18th hole win over Lee Westwood took the US to 15 points - securing an American victory for the first time since 2008.
Europe needed to overturn a three-point deficit in Sunday's 12 singles matches to claim an unprecedented fourth straight win in the contest, which takes place every two years.
Open champion Henrik Stenson got Darren Clarke's side off to a strong start with a 3&2 win over Jordan Spieth, but Rory McIlroy then suffered his first Ryder Cup singles defeat against Patrick Reed.
Europe got to within a single point after wins for rookies Thomas Pieters and Rafa Cabrera Bello but the US always looked in control as Rickie Fowler powered past Olympic champion Justin Rose to win on the last hole.
Masters champion Danny Willett was trounced 5&4 by Brooks Koepka - capping off a nightmare week in which he endured constant heckling after an article by his brother criticised US golf fans.
The victory was especially sweet for US captain Davis Love, who was also in charge when Europe came back from 10-6 down to pull off the "Miracle at Medinah" in 2012.
"We have been criticised for eight to 10 years for not coming together," Love said.
"Phil Mickelson, Bubba (Watson), everyone who played on the team and who didn't play on the team showed we all had a heart and could pull together.
"2012 was a great team and we played our hearts out but this is a different 12 and I am super proud of them. We all pulled together for this one."
A sixth defeat in the last seven contests at Gleneagles in 2014 had prompted the formation of an 11-man "task force" to examine all aspects of the US Ryder Cup process and Love added: "We've been kicked around for so long and you keep losing so you feel you have to do something different.
"There was a bit of rebuilding to do and a little bit of a shift in attitude. We are not going to win every one but we are going to go into them with a better attitude."
Asked if he would change any of his decisions this week, Europe captain Darren Clarke said: "No. I really wouldn't. The only one I possibly may have changed was yesterday's (afternoon) pairings, which had to be in by 11.30 and there were still matches on the course.
"I've had a wonderful group of vice-captains helping me every step of the way and we've made all our decisions together.
"This doesn't happen overnight, 18 months of planning goes into it.
"I think this week the Americans have putted that much better and that makes all the difference between winning and losing.
"Congratulations to Davis (Love) and we'll try to win it back on our own patch in two years' time."
