I really don’t understand how a guy who has never won a major, destroys everyone he comes across in Ryder Cups. It’s almost like he’s the greatest match play style player ever.

@THEAnnEla 5 жыл бұрын

He lives for this, for the team, for the atmosphere. He lives for Ryder cup, it gives him the right drive to deliver. He is also very good in match plays. It is different from the normal play at majors. He is able to play his very best every single Ryder Cup. And I am glad, 'cause a Ryder cup without Poulter is no true Ryder cup for me. I cannot imagin him not being there.

I was there that Sunday…on Saturday afternoon it was 10-4, and the US was leading the last two matches on the course with only a few holes to go, so 12-4 looked very possible to close out the day. As a US fan going the next day, I remember feeling very disappointed that “this thing will virtually be over by the time we settle in tomorrow, there’ll be no drama left for us tomorrow”….so the last couple matches Saturday evening I was kinda rooting for Europe just so it would make Sunday a little closer and won’t be over so fast. Bottom line: beware what you wish for. Nonetheless, being there that Sunday is a day I’ll never forget.

Passion is great in anything, but especially in a sport where so many are reserved like golf, it’s truly inspiring to see. America will always have the better team on paper but blokes like this are what make it great.

I'm going to Paris saturday for this great venue and I'm buzzing. Couldn't afford it, but my mates said, if you're not going - we won't either, so they offered to pay for me. I really can't find words for their behavior, but I'm obviously very happy to have such kind of friends. I've played golf for 29 years and stopped immedietly for about two years ago due to my lack of finances, but I still love the game. It's a shame that it has to come down to money, but this really gets me dreaming again for that perfect round.Come on Europe.

Great piece of documentary. Medina 2012 has been the individual golf event that struck me the most. I was in Valhalla 2008 and Celtic Manor 2010, the Masters and several others but that Sunday in Chicago still make me cry like a child. One of the purest and most sports in the world, played by fierce sportsmen just for the honor (in the case of the RC). The putt of Rose on 17 against Lefty (and his supernatual grace to accept the defeat with a smile) and many more made that sunday look like it was planned by the best Steven Spielberg. I never liked Poult but getting older and wiser, I start liking his soul

I have watched this video so many times it's extremely motivational and as Ian said the Americans can't keep holing monster putts thier " luck " had to end and how Ian kept his positivity is mind blowing especially under such extreme pressure as the Ryder Cup. But playing in one it might be your one and only occasion in life to represent your country so don't give up its not over until its over , never say die attitude. I know it sounds very cringe fact 10 but that's the attitude and difference between winning and losing
