Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell were the stars of GB&I win over Europe at the weekend.
Another Irish man Paul McGinley did a great job as team captain to warrent a shot at the Ryder Cup captaincy soon.
He fielded what was supposed to be a weak side against a strong European side and came away as 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 winners at SAINT-NOM-LA-BRETECHE golf club in PARIS.
After the first 3 days GB&I were 12 1/2--5 1/2 up going into the 10 singles matches. There was a 1/2 point awarded to the teams when Anthony Wall couldn't play because of injury.
Needing only 2 points McGinley soon had the VIVENDI TROPHY wrapped up when 20 year old McIlroy beat World No5, Henrik Stenson by one hole and McDowell was very impressive when he beat Robert Karlsson by 3/2 for an overall winning total of
GB&I 16 1/2.........Europe 11 1/2.
