Stewart Cink, Hunter Mahan, Anthony Kim and Sean O'Hair put the first points on the board to leave the US on the brink before Woods took centre stage. <br /><br />The 14-time major champion ended his week with a flawless 5-0 record, matching the achievements of Mark O'Meara (1996) and Shigeki Maruyama (1998), but was unaware his success against Yang had secured the trophy for his team. <br /><br />"All I knew was I was trying to get my point and I was five up trying to make it six," Woods told reporters after recording five birdies in 13 holes. "I didn't look at any boards. I saw we were down six matches at one point so I just kept my head down and tried to extend my own lead.</p>
