Francesco Molinari finished off a memorable weekend by becoming the first European player to win all five of his matches at a Ryder Cup on Sunday.
The British Open champion eased to a 4 and 2 victory over an out-of-sorts Phil Mickelson to secure the hosts the trophy at Le Golf National with a dominant performance.
After Ian Poulter's dramatic 2-up win against world number one Dustin Johnson, Molinari ensured a crushing triumph for Europe.
The Italian and Tommy Fleetwood had become the first European pairing to win four matches from four on Saturday.
English rookie Fleetwood was beaten by Tony Finau in Sunday's singles, but Molinari took his chance to make history against the erratic Mickelson.
"I just try to do things, be professional and obviously I had an amazing partner in Tommy," he said.
"Never felt like I had a rookie playing alongside me. It's been amazing."
"You know, it's hard not to get emotional when you think about the other players, the vice captains, Thomas, the wives. It's been an incredible week."
"It's been the best I've been a part of."
