Ryder Cup Official Ultimate Collection 2002-2012 on DVD

Description

When Germany s Martin Kaymer stood over a six foot putt on the final green of Medinah Country Club in Chicago on September 30th 2012, he faced a putt that if he holed would climax arguably the most remarkable sporting tale of all time. It was also a putt that would mean since the turn of the century, of the six Ryder Cup matches played between the finest golfers from the continents of Europe and the United States of America Europe incredibly would have won five. Kaymer s putt was dead centre. As America threatened to bury Jose Maria Olazabal s European side under an avalanche of birdies, England s Ian Poulter remained defiant. His brilliant play and force of will helped launch a ferocious final day counter attack. Europe silenced a raucous home support, turned round a four point deficit and made history. They had ripped the cup from American grasp at a sodden Celtic Manor two years earlier; where just one point and the icy nerve of US Open Champion, Graeme McDowell, separated the sides after four days of epic competition. In 2008 at Valhalla, US Captain Paul Azinger masterminded America s only successful cup campaign of the decade while the 2006 match was Darren Clarke s Ryder Cup. The Northern Irishman played a huge part in an emotional victory at the K Club in Ireland. Two years earlier in Detroit, Bernhard Langer s supremely prepared side inflicted a record defeat on the US as the dream team pairing of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson failed to deliver. And no-one will ever forget 2002 as Sam Torrance once again shed tears on the Belfry s 18th green when Ireland s Paul McGinley regained the Ryder Cup. Six memorable matches one unique collection.
