The 2014 Ryder Cup

On the 15th fairway on an unforgettable afternoon at Gleneagles, two captains shook hands, swapped stories and reflected on the fact the winning point at the Ryder Cup had been clinched by the shot of the lifetime. Captain Paul McGinley’s side led 10-6 going into the final day and reached 14 ½ needed to win the Cup outright when Welsh rookie Jamie Donaldson beat Keegan Bradley 4&3. This meant Europe completed their mission in the singles to win the 40th Ryder Cup 16 ½ - 11 ½ against the United States at Gleneagles. Europe have now won 8 of the last 10 Ryder Cups, while the US have not won an away match since 1993.
