IAN POULTER wept after possibly saying goodbye to the Ryder Cup.

The Postman once again delivered in singles, winning 3&2 over Tony Finau.

This means that he has maintained his unbeaten record in his SEVEN Sunday solo one-on-one matches - winning six and tieing one.

He was visibly emotional after securing victory today on the 16th fairway. He wiped away his tears and then sat on his stomach.

Poulter, 45, is unlikely to be playing in the Ryder Cup in Rome in two years.

Captain's Pick: "We have a young team of players that are going to take it forward for many years, and as a senior member of the team, you don’t think there are many other left."

"I wanted this week to be a blessing, but the first two days were a struggle.

"Today was to give back. It's impossible to know when you might get another chance.

Poulter said: "It's hard right?" All credit to the US team. They have played much better golf, made it more difficult and holed some great putts.

"We didn’t have it this week. It was nice to win today and take something from the week. It's an inexplicable feeling.

"Sticking one point on the board is great from a personal standpoint, but it's not a consolation. We'll get in the saddle and see if it is possible to go back to Italy.

"The crowd is extremely partisan, as they should be. They had home support, and they used it to their advantage.

There are always more. You need to be able to focus on your job at certain times in matches. There will always be one couple who has had too many.

Poulter's win was impressive, but it was too little too late for Team Europe, who were already thoroughly beaten.

Collin Morikawa was The Open champion and won the half-point against Viktor Hovland, confirming USA as the winners of Whistling Straits.

The hosts were ahead by 5 points going into the final day, knowing that they only needed 3 1/2 points to win the trophy.

LOST HIS BAWL

Poulter's tears weren't the only thing that irritated the European side on Sunday.

Rory McIlroy was first to face Xander Schauffele, hoping to score his first point of a tough weekend.

He displayed a greater effort to win 3&2 and couldn't help but speak out during his interview on TV.

Apologetic McIlroy stated: "I should've done more for them [my teammates] this week.

"I am glad that I scored a point, but I cannot wait to have another chance at it."

"It's by far the most enjoyable experience in golf. I hope the little girls and boys who see this today will aspire to be part of the Solheim Cup or other similar events. There's nothing more rewarding than being part a team.

"No matter what happens, I'm proud to be a captain and vice-captains.

"I wish that I could have done more. It's been a difficult week, but I am glad I was able to make a point.
