Europe wins the 2012 Ryder Cup

At the start of the final day, Sunday, things were not looking to great for Europe as they were down 10-6. Needing 14 points to retain the Ryder Cup meant that they had their work cut out for the day.

As usual there was plenty of action on this final day including Rory McIlroy turning up just ten minutes before he was due to tee off. As expected from the world number one this did not affect him at all and he would go on to win his match against Keegan Bradley 2-1.
Ian Poulter had an outstanding 2012 Ryder Cup winning all four matches he played in. He won against Web Simpson in the singles, He won ,together with Rory McIlroy, against Jayson Dufner and Zach Johnson in the fourball,Won, together with Justin Rose, against Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson as well as Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods in the Foursomes to make it 4 from 4!!!

The only Three Americans who managed to win their matches on the final day were D. Johnson 3-2 over N. Colsaerts, Z. Johnson 2-1 over G. McDowell and J. Dufner  2up over P. Hanson.
Tiger Woods would half with Francesca Molanari and the rest of the European team  members would win their matches and make Europe the 2012 Ryder Cup Winners.

Ryder Cup, Medinah 2012

The 2012 Ryder Cup gets under way at Medinah and it is the Americans who draw first blood. Even though the Americans take a 2 point lead on day one, the talk of the day is about the the European Rookie, Nicolas Colsaerts, burning up the course in record breaking fashion. This is the first time that Belgium has a player appearing in the Ryder Cup and to boast an incredible eight birdies and an eagle in the final fourball game of the day in Chicago certainly has put Belgium on the golfing map.
