The American pair of Gary Woodland and Matt Kuchar clinch the World Cup of Golf in China, finishing two clear of Englishmen Ian Poulter and Justin Rose.

The United States duo of Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland have triumphed in the biennial World Cup of Golf in China.

The pair carded six birdies in their final round to clinch the title by two strokes from the English pair of Ian Poulter and Justin Rose and Germany's Alex Cejka and Martin Kaymer.

Poulter and Rose hit the lowest round of the day at Mission Hills with a nine-under-par 63 to claw their way up the leaderboard and end on 22-under for the tournament.

Birdies on the first two holes for the American pair eroded the overnight lead of Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell, who failed to find the form of the previous three days.

The US Open champions of the last two years ended with a level par 72 that left them in a tie for third alongside Australia and Scotland.
