How the European Ryder Cup team celebrated their win

The players involved in Europe's win over the USA have been tweeting about yesterday's celebrations, and from what we can gather some of them must be nursing some heroic hangovers.

Here are just a few of the best tweets of the night from the golfers who won it for Europe this weekend.

It was world number one Rory McIlroy's premature champagne ejaculation that got the party started, much to the surprise of teammate Graeme McDowell.

Vice captain Miguel Angel Jimenez has always been fond of the finer things in life, and yesterday was no different. Here's a shot of him with his party bag for the night: champagne, flag and a box of fine cigars.

Westwood, meanwhile, was recovering in style with a fry-up. Wonder if he could convince Spaniard Sergio Garcia of the healing effects of a full English?

And finally, Welsh rookie Jamie Donaldson is still wondering whether it was all a dream.
