The Ryder Cup trophy returned to Europe's hands after Francesco Molinari beat Phil Mickelson.
The defending champion Americans dropped five of eight matches for a second consecutive day at Le Golf National, giving Europe a 10-6 lead entering the final 12 matches.
28-year-old Tony Finau has not won on the PGA Tour, but had top-10s at three majors this year, and has played well during the current FedExCup playoffs.
With five rookies having already booked their places automatically through the European and World Points standings, Denmark’s Bjorn opted to beef up his team with four players who boast 20 previous Ryder Cup appearances between them.
Francesco Molinari played a final round of 69 seeing him finish on eight under par. It's the first major of the 35-year-old's career making him the first Italian to win a major.
