Team USA came to Celtic Manor aiming to retain the trophy after their win at Valhalla two years earlier, but found Europe in control of a weather-affected third session.

Jeff Overton and Bubba Watson found themselves two down after seven holes in their fourballs match against Peter Hanson and Miguel Angel Jimenez, only to close the gap at the par-four eighth.

Overton holed out from the fairway with his second shot for a timely eagle, before a vocal celebration saw him scream "BOOM BABY" and repeatedly shout with his playing partner.

The over-the-top celebration made little difference on the result, as the European pair won the match 2up on their way to reclaim the trophy with a 14-5-13.5 victory.
