The US team led into the final day, and they managed to snatch defeat from the very jaws of victory.



European captain Jose Maria Olazabal reflected on the best week of his life after his side's record-equalling comeback to retain the Ryder Cup.

Olazabal's side trailed 10-4 at one point on Saturday afternoon and were still four points down going into Sunday's singles, exactly the same margin from which the home side won in controversial circumstances at Brookline in 1999.

But after being on the receiving end of last-day heroics 13 years ago, Olazabal was able to enjoy the Miracle at Medinah as eight of his team won their singles matches and Francesco Molinari's half point against Tiger Woods completed a remarkable win by 14.5 points to 13.5.

Europe has that same comeback the US team had in 1999 in Brookline. The US had that same choke as Europe did in that same year.
