All of Europe loves you Jose and Seve too. What a Captain 👌

@robcalvert8830 6 жыл бұрын

My favourite sporting moment in history. To come back from 10-4 down, in Chicago with such partisan crowds was beyond special. The whole Seve thing was just the icing on an emotional rollercoaster. The team and Jose will go down in Ryder cup history.

39:32 - poor Jose; you can see how much this meant to him. Him and Seve were the stuff of Ryder Cup Legend, and to win this event in such an incredible way, to see him break down completely and show us all how much it means to him and his team, such a naked and vulnerable moment for Jose. I just wish I could give the guy a hug

@oysterman250 6 жыл бұрын

This particular Ryder Cup felt like it was DESIGNED to be exactly how it panned out, just to heighten the emotion and the drama. From dragging JMO over the coals and stare a possible heavy defeat in the face to the European onslaught in the singles (not something that Europe is particularly known for in the Ryder Cup), the conclusion was something of a fairytale - albeit one that lasted the entire day on Sunday! I was so happy for JMO and tears were shed in abundance - of both happiness and sadness that Seve couldn't be there in the flesh, but his fighting spirit most certainly was!

@MrAJR76 5 жыл бұрын

I agree with your comments, except for the bit about Europe being generally poor at singles play. They've inflicted some stonking singles defeats on the US in recent times - 2006 particularly, but also 2002, 2004 & 2018. And, of course, 2012 as you say. The whole thing about Europe being bad at singles is very outdated, and stems really from the 80s & 90s (culminating in the debacle of Brookline).

Poults late Saturday was in god mode! 5 birdies on the bounce and the US just couldn't live with his pace! That was the moment for me that swung the momentum

I can't watch the footage of the Ryder Cup or this interview without welling up a bit - you can see in José's eyes in the interview how much it meant to him that the European team came together to win under his captaincy and that they were galvanised by a love and respect for one of golf's most wonderful personalities and one of José's greatest friends; Seve. This was for him and everything he meant to the people in this sport. God bless José and I'm sure Seve will have been dancing away somewhere, watching down on it all unfolding with that smile.

You all have to thank Jack Nicklaus for this. He was the one who requested to include mainland Europe to make The Ryder Cup more competitive because GB&I almost never won. To build the fervor, it was necessary for the Americans to lose, and because Americans have lost and Europe more competitive, Ryder Cup is the best golfing event every two years. Far more exciting than any major.

The Americans played great on Friday and Saturday. They were the better team, and they for once were really a team. But Seve was so loved by us Europeans, and and Jose embodied that love, so that we were a14 man team. The 12 players, our captain, and our lost icon. But we should never have won. What Poulter did was ridiculous, Rose beating Mickelson was ridiculous. But it happened!
