Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar beat Paul Lawrie and Nicolas Colsaerts toward the end of Day 2 on Saturday at the Ryder Cup to give the United States a seemingly insurmountable 10-4 lead. Even the Europeans' victories in the final two matches of the day barely raised an eyebrow.

But it turned out to be the start of, depending on your perspective, an epic collapse by the Americans or one of the biggest comebacks in the history of the event on Sunday.

In the end, Europe won eight of the 12 singles matches and got a split from Francesco Molinari in the anchor match against Tiger Woods to win 14.5 to 13.5, matching the U.S. rally in 1999 as the biggest Sunday comeback in Ryder Cup history.

Here's a score-by-score look at how the drama unfolded after Johnson/Kuchar gave the U.S. a 10-4 lead late Saturday in Medinah, Ill.

  • Sergio Garcia/Luke Donald beat Tiger Woods/Steve Stricker: U.S. leads 10-5
