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.
