Romero’s bogey hands UBS Cup to US

The United States retained the UBS Cup after a dramatic 12-12 tie with the Rest of the World at Sea Island.

Eduardo Romero looked like securing the visitors' first victory in the Ryder Cup-style event when he led Scott Hoch with one hole to play in the decisive 12th singles match.

But the 49-year-old Argentinian bogeyed the 18th and had to settle for half a point, meaning unlike the Presidents Cup's controversial finish earlier yesterday, Arnold Palmer's side kept the trophy as defending champions.
