So, did we give those Yanks what for or did they kick our tea-sipping asses?
The latter, it was a close run thing though. It was level after the first day at 6-6 but the Americans won a hard fought contest 12½-11½ in the end.

That was close, how did it go down?
After a very even day of play on the Saturday, the U.S won all four of the morning foursomes on Sunday. It was an uphill struggle for GB and Ireland to get back in it and their 5½ to 2½  singles win wasn't quite enough, as an eagle by Jonathan Moore clinched victory for the U.S.

An 'uphill struggle', surely that's too much of a cliché even for you?
Umm OK, how about: they faced a task of Dawn French-esque proportions.

Terrible. Go back to the tried and tested clichés I think.
OK, Rory McIlroy, Rhys Davies and Lloyd Saltman all put in a sterling effort and chalked up three singles points early doors before Danny Willett sunk a blinding 20-foot putt on the 18th to grab a last-gasp draw with Colt Knost. The U.S snatched a famous victory however as Jamie Lovemark and Johnathan Moore secured the two points needed.

Too many clichés now...
How about this one then? After GB & Ireland's comeback fell just short, Peter McEvoy, the ex-captain said:  “I've never seen such naked courage on a golf course.”

Naked courage? What's that?
Dunno. But it's a shame they didn't have more of it as the U.S.A's win took them to a 33-7 lead in The Walker Cup series.

33-7? Now that's an uphill struggle...
