The 33rd Ryder Cup Matches, also known as the "Battle of Brookline", were held between September 24 26 at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. The American team won the competition by a margin of 14 to 13 , the closest score possible in a Ryder Cup competition except for a tie. The Europeans, leading 10-6 heading into the final round, needed only 4 points on the final day to retain the cup. But the Americans rallied on Sunday, winning the first 6 matches of the day to surge into the lead. Jim Furyk upset Sergio García to give the Americans their 8th point of the day, and the Americans recaptured the cup when Justin Leonard halved his match with José María Olazábal.
