Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (France) (AFP) - Europe regained the Ryder Cup from the United States on Sunday with a crushing 17.5 to 10.5 victory at Le Golf National in France.
Here, AFP Sport takes a look at some of the best quotes from the 42nd edition of the matchplay showdown:
"It's disappointing because I went 0-4, and that's four points to the European team.And I'm one of the contributing factors to why we lost the cup, and it's not a lot of fun."
-- Tiger Woods admits losing all four of his matches didn't help the USA
"Let me put it this way, it's going to go on a part that only (my girlfriend) Grace will see.The worst decision I made all week."
-- European captain Thomas Bjorn on a wager he made with his players before the tournament, which appears set to see him with a new tattoo
"Francesco and Tommy have gotten awfully close this week so I don't know what's going to happen between them tonight."
-- Rory McIlroy on the bromance between the 'Moliwood' star pairing of Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari
"I love him, like I said the other day.We need to spend more time together I think."
-- Molinari was effusive in his praise of Fleetwood all week
"His name is not Molinari anymore.It's Machinari because he's a machine."
-- Sergio Garcia on Molinari, who became the first European player in history to claim five wins from as many matches
