Team Europe staged one of the greatest come-backs in the history of sport on Sunday to win the Ryder Cup at Medinah U.S.A.

With the US only needing four and a half points from Sunday's singles to win, Team Europe played their hearts out to eventually win 14.5 to 13.5.

German Martin Kaymer holed the putt that took Europe to 14 points and retention of the trophy, but minutes later Tiger Woods missed a short putt to give Europe total victory.

Team captain Jose Maria Olazabal was tearful after the victory for an emotional win that was dedicated to the late, great Seve Ballesteros.

Both the US and Europe have now named their wildcards for the 2012 Ryder Cup.

The wildcard choices for The Ryder Cup 2012 have now been made for both the US and The European teams.

Previously European Captain Jose Maria Olazabal chose brit Ian Poulter and Begium's Nicholas Colsaerts.

This week USA Captain Davis Love chose Dustin Johnson, Jim Furyk, Brandt Snedeker and Steve Stricker.

That means the teams will now line up at Medinah as follows:

European Team:

Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Graeme McDowell, Paul Lawrie, Francesco Molinari, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia, Peter Hanson , Martin Kaymer, Ian Poulter and Nicholas Colsaerts.

USA Team:

Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Jason Dufner, Keegan Bradley, Webb Simpson, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson, Jim Furyk, Brandt Snedeker and Steve Stricker.

Rory McIlroy stormed to his second major triumph yesterday winning the 2012 USPGA by a massive 8 shots finishing at 13 under par!

Little know Englishman David Lynn finished second, while Tiger Woods continues to struggle to regain his form finishing 2 under par.

"I don't think I have let it sink in yet - I am speechless," said McIlroy, the first Briton to claim the US PGA title since Jim Barnes won the first two tournaments in 1916 and 1919 when it was a matchplay event.
McIlroy is also the youngest player to win two majors since Spain's Seve Ballesteros achieved the feat in 1980.

Tiger Woods passed Jack Nicklaus on the all-time PGA Tour victory list by winning the AT&T National in Maryland.

The former world number one secured his 74th United States Tour win by two shots from Bo Van Pelt after a final round of 69 left him eight under.

It means Woods has won more PGA events than any golfer bar Sam Snead, who recorded 82 victories on the Tour.

"To do it at 36, I feel like I have a lot of years ahead of me," Woods said after his third win of the year.

"I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again. That was, I think, six months ago and here we are."

Overnight leader Brendon de Jonge had a nightmare round of six over par to finish in a share of 11th on one under.

Woods, who began the day one shot behind Zimbabwean De Jong, was all square with fellow American Van Pelt after both bogeyed the 16th.

But Van Pelt dropped a further shot at each of the final two holes, allowing Woods, who won the Memorial Tournament in Ohio last month, to seal victory by two strokes with a pair of pars.

Van Pelt carded a level par for his final round to finish second on six under, one clear of Australia's Adam Scott.
