  • This is a gorgeous, absolutely perfect piece. I loved every second. Honestly, life is tough, but videos like this, that allow us fans to understand what these athletes and their coaches are feeling, make things a lot easier. At least for me! Thank you, Jose Maria, and THANK YOU, European Tour!!!!

    JMO what an emotional review of a great event. You are a legend.
  • Watching him this week still playing proper golf, I cried for 4 or 5 minutes...That was the best moment of my life period. Jose Marie Olazabal! Legend.
  • What a great come back, being a captain of a team where you have to pick a team has a great responsibility, when you have a team that makes your job easier is a godsend, I was lucky enough that way in a different sport that the lads around me made it easy, even if I had to drop myself from playing.
  • The emotion in José's eyes at the start meant so much, a team from so many different countries playing as one nation, continent, show's how much sport can bring people together, well done lads always let America know we are better than them, even though America is more or less made up of our ancestors.

    Such passion for the event. Now I'm glad he won, even though I was pulling so hard against him back then. 1) I'm glad he mentioned how great that Euro team was . 4 of the 5 top players in the world, plus Sergio and Poulter, plus Kaymer and McDowell. Top to bottom arguably the best team the Euro's ever had. 2) Glad he mentioned the matches between Rose v. Mickelson and Sergio v. Furyk. For me as well, those were the two key matches. Both turned on 17 and lost on 18. Complete meltdown by Furyk after Phil lost to hero-play by Rose.
