A decisive first point for Europe. Hovland capped off a fantastic week with a signature performance in Singles. He birdied four of the five holes in the middle of his front nine to take an early 3-up lead. Morikawa tried to cut the leader several times, but the Norwegian did not fail. Hovland, 7 under in the round, won the 11th, 12th and final 15th holes to secure the critical point for Europe.
