KOHLER, Wisconsin (Reuters) - Dustin Johnson may have been the oldest member of the triumphant U.S. Ryder Cup team on Sunday, but the stoic American showed the way for a rookie-filled squad as he dominated in a way rarely seen at the biennial team event.

The 37-year-old Johnson went 5-0 at Whistling Straits to join Francesco Molinari (2018), Larry Nelson (1979), Arnold Palmer (1967) and Gardner Dickinson (1967) as the only players to triumph in each session at a single Ryder Cup.
