2012 Ryder Cup
 

Who watched it? Couldn't bear watching any of the singles, but what a massive turn around this was. I truly think that Seve Ballesteros was up there watching and helping Europe to win.

Final score, for those who missed it, was 14.5 Europe to USA 13.5, which means Europe won outright. 14 was needed to retain, but we went one better.

It was absoloutely amazing!

That putt from Justin Rose on the 17th was the turning point. Rose and Poulter were amazing.

FANTASTIC.

What a Summer of sport we've had but, in terms of drama, that was as good as anything.

You couldn't have scripted that and made a movie. The critics would have slammed it for being too far fetched.

I actually felt a bit of sympathy for the U.S. players. The pressure that all the players were under is incredible. I think Seve had the final say. ;)

Wow l could not believe that a miracle could happen on the final day.:cleader::hyper:

Re: 2012 Ryder Cup
 

A miracle it certainly was Den they were so far behind, it was difficult to imagine they could make such an amazing comeback. I stayed up to watch the nail biting finish, had my fingers crossed to the end. :) Congratulations to the European team!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't have Sky here but kept an eye on the scores etc. during the day via the radio. Fantastic result for the team :clap:

.... and a denied 'good news' photo-opportunity for Obama... lol

Re: 2012 Ryder Cup
 

I still cannot believe that happened. It must be one of the greatest sporting comebacks ever! This made me laugh, from the BBC live text last night...

I know the yanks are always over confident, but we were so far behind, to come back and win was sensational!

This was brilliant. I was watching it from 10pm onwards and glued to the TV. I loved the support from the European fans. The "Olaaaay Olay Olay Olaaay... Olaay Ollay" chanting was absolutely brilliant. It's always nice to quiet the american fans and we did that perfectly. The post match interviews were brilliant, Olazabal's tears made me cry too, I used to love watching Seve - he was the reason I started watching Golf - and winning in his colours was so apt!

Indeed - although retaining the cup with a draw would have been brilliant in itself, considering what the guys had to turnaround on the final day, actually winning outright was the icing on the cake.

Well done Woods for being so sporting.
