Latest news ahead of the 42nd Ryder Cup at Le Golf National.

The Welshman went into his Sunday singles match with Phil Mickelson 117 places below him in the world rankings, only to upstage his playing partner and claim a stunning 2&1 win.

Price led after five holes and produced an incredible recovery from the edge of a water hazard at the sixth to double his advantage, before moving three ahead with a par at the seventh.

The world No 118 was three ahead with eight to play and although Mickelson briefly cut the gap with a birdie at the 15th, Price completed victory in style by holing a stunning 25-footer at the next.

Price's point helped Sam Torrance's side to a 15.5-12.5 success in 2002, the first of the three consecutive victories for Team Europe.
