Both players drove into the middle of the hogsback fairway of Shinnecock's majestic final hole. Hutcheon, though, flew the green badly with his second and was staring at the prospect of a bogey. Faced with a chip that required the touch of a Swiss watchmaker, Hutcheon cooly pitched out of the cloying rough and watched his ball run over 70 feet of green and cascade into the cup. Hutcheon's victory gave the British team its final point of the competition...

He seemed destined for a certain bogey but instead hit a low, zinging iron that seemed to change direction in mid-flight. The ball skirted the bunker on the left side of the green and kicked to within six feet of the pin. Graham needed to hole out to drawn even with Green but his tentative putt was never on line...

Paxton slipped to an 80 on Sunday, taking a triple bogey on the 15th, but Vik forged a sparkling round of 70 from the pressure packed crucible of the closing 18. "Alex showed everyone what kind of a player he is today," said Donovan, as Vik had displayed only ephemeral brilliance through most of the season...
