The Story

The Miracle at Medinah: The greatest comeback in Ryder Cup history.

Trailing 10-6 heading into Sunday singles, Europe needed 8.5 points to retain the cup. inspired by the spirit of the late Seve Ballesteros, whose silhouette adorned their sleeves, Europe launched an impossible charge. Ian Poulter sparked the fire late Saturday, and player after player delivered on Sunday. Martin Kaymer sank the crucial putt to ensure Europe would retain the trophy, stunning the American crowd in a victory that defies logic to this day.
