How the USA team fared at the Ryder Cup

Keegan Bradley

Brought enormous energy and enthusiasm to his partnership with Phil Mickelson, not to mention three points from three matches, including a record-equalling 7 and 6 thrashing of Lee Westwood and Luke Donald.

Only defeat was to world number one Rory McIlroy in singles. 8/10

Jason Dufner

Won two of his three matches before the singles and looked amazingly calm throughout the week on his debut. Also beat Swede Peter Hanson on Sunday in a losing cause. 7/10

Jim Furyk

Clearly chosen as a wild card due to his experience, but was only used twice before Sunday with one win and one defeat alongside Snedeker. Led Sergio Garcia by one with two to play in singles but bogeyed the last two holes to lose 4/10

Dustin Johnson

Justified his wild card with two fourball wins with Matt Kuchar, holing a crucial long birdie putt on the 17th hole in the win over Nicolas Colsaerts and Paul Lawrie. Also beat Colsaerts 3 and 2 on Sunday 8/10

Zach Johnson

Won three points out of four and helped stem the European tide on Sunday with a cool win over Graeme McDowell, closing the match out with four straight pars. 7/10

Matt Kuchar

Won both his team games alongside Dustin Johnson, including the vital one over Colsaerts and Lawrie, but lost to a previously off-colour Westwood in the singles, never leading in the match. 5/10

Phil Mickelson

His previous appearance at Celtic Manor made him the American with the most defeats – 17 – in cup history, but what a difference it made to have Keegan Bradley as a partner. Did little wrong in singles either but was beaten by an inspired birdie-birdie finish from Justin Rose. 7/10

Webb Simpson

The serious Simpson relished his partnership with the laid-back Bubba Watson, the two Major winners combining for two wins out of three, but lost singles match to Ian Poulter in a crucial contest. 5/10

Brandt Snedeker

Cracked under the pressure in the opening match on Friday with a wild tee shot on the 18th, but gained revenge with Jim Furyk over McIlroy and McDowell a day later. Hammered by Lawrie in singles. 4/10

Steve Stricker

No doubt chosen as a wild card largely to partner Woods, the veteran was off form and slumped to three defeats with the former world number one. Made brave par on 18th in crucial singles against Kaymer, but only after a bogey on 17th proved the difference. 4/10

Bubba Watson

Claimed two points out of three alongside Simpson and responsible for the new trend of encouraging fans to be as loud as possible while hitting opening tee shots. Sent off first in the singles but beaten by Donald 5/10

Tiger Woods

Joined Mickelson on 17 defeats thanks to his three losses with Stricker and was left out of a session for the first time in his Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup career. Also sent out last in the singles and ended up gifting Europe overall victory by halving his match with Molinari. 3/10
