Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3978412, member: 1969"] I have to disagree. It was officially clinched at 17, whether the point was officially on the board. The US was guaranteed at that point to get to 14.5. I am fairly certain (but not 100%) that is the principle they have used for clinching hole / putt in the past -- not when the match is over necessarily. I have seen players clinch a half point before 18, celebrate very quickly with their captain and other players and then continue their match. But again I could be wrong. And of course there was Brookline where everybody celebrated before the match was even officially over by any measure!! [/QUOTE]
