Although Neil Coles and BrianHuggett were quickly 2 up against Dave Hill and Tommy Aaron, the Americans had reversed the position at the turn.
After Casper had putted, Huggett had a putt of about ten yards to win his match but he was a little too bold, leaving himself four to five feet past.
Huggett needed this putt to win the Ryder Cup; he got it, shook hands with Billy Casper and collapsed in tears in the arms of his captain, Eric Brown, and Dai Rees.
