    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

  • @CarbonitePlays

    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.

    @oysterman250 6 років тому +13

    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
      @MrAJR76 5 років тому +5

      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      The whole thing about Europe being bad at singles is very outdated, and stems really from the 80s & 90s (culminating in the debacle of Brookline).

    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.

    Sadly, Satan doesn't want the world to enjoy sports any more. Sadly, no one obeys my Heavenly Father any more. The times are upon us now, the end times. Sorrows, famine, wars, earthquakes, and much worse. Your lives will end within 12 years, what do you want to be your eternal fate? With God and Jesus and me? Or with Satan and the evil ones currently wrecking your lives? Ask God for the truth and His love, and join the winning team, forever.
