Europe thump US in Ryder Cup

Not really a golf fan but the Ryder Cup always stirs something in me. There have been so many close finishes over the years that it is essential vieiwing for any sports enthusiast. I am half irish and so had an even keener interest in this years event.

Would the irish cock things up on such a global stage? Well you did half wonder

In the end after some awful weather - the sun shone, the irish twinkled and Europe danced to victory winning 18 and a half to 9 and a half. A record equalling win.

Watching the closing ceremony just now it all looked fantastic.

Well done Ireland and well done Europe
