Matt Kuchar gets a win at last over Thomas Bjorn

AUCHTERARDER, SCOTLAND - SEPTEMBER 28: Thomas Bjorn of Europe smiles with Matt Kuchar of the United States on the 1st tee during the Singles Matches of the 2014 Ryder Cup on the PGA Centenary course at the Gleneagles Hotel on September 28, 2014 in Auchterarder, Scotland. (Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images) It was almost an academic exercise, but it was necessary nonetheless: Matt Kuchar topped Thomas Bjorn in their Ryder Cup singles match in one of the few matches never really in doubt.


Kuchar first took the lead on the second hole, then grabbed it again on the fifth and never relinquished it. He ended up winning 4&3, closing it out by the 15th hole.


The win marked a much-needed victory for Kuchar, who had lost his three previous matches. Bjorn, meanwhile, was one of the few faltering European players, going 0-2-1 on the weekend.


That didn't much matter, though, as this match was being played in the midst of a European onslaught. Kuchar's win held off the inevitable by a few minutes, but not much more than that.
