KOHLER, Wisconsin : 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.

"You know, starting the week, if you had told me I was going to go 5-0-0, I probably would have said you were crazy. I didn't think I was going to play five matches," said Johnson. Johnson, who was the only member of the 12-member American team to play all five sessions this week on the links-style layout, made his Ryder Cup debut in 2010 when he went 1-3 at Celtic Manor.

Playing on a team with six rookies and an average age of 29 was something new for Johnson but he embraced the role and won the Ryder Cup for the second time in his career.
