The first tee at Gleneagles in Perthshire. These decibel levels are | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
unlike anything else. Reverential hush, not a bit of it. A passion | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
fuelled and boisterous contest between Europe and United States of | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
America. So much excitement and anticipation. Especially with | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
memories fresh of the last match two years ago when Europe pulled off the | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
most extraordinary comeback in the 87 year history. The so-called | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Miracle at Medinah. Nothing in golf inspires quite like | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
the Ryder Cup. The ultimate team contest in individual sport. As | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Europe stared at defeat one man bellowed a scream of defiance. | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Inspiration can come when you least expect it. Sometimes just from | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
having a chance. 10-6 down, but the comeback was on. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
A quiet veteran stood up to be counted. The world number one was | :01:41. | :01:50. | |
late but not too late. Of course the Tanners man delivered. Where they | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
lead others followed. Overwhelming momentum. Inspiring an entire team | :01:57. | :02:11. | |
to create history. Perhaps the greatest inspiration was there in | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
every mind but not in body. It means everything. The Miracle at Medinah. | :02:17. | :02:26. | |
Two years on, how those memories have sharpened the ambitions of both | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
teams and their captains. A time major champion Tom Watson is revered | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
in these parts. So to Ireland's first-ever Ryder Cup skipper Paul | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
McGinley. Ready for golf and sport at its very best. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Seven Europeans from the Chicago team return and are joined by three | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
first timers. Victor Dubuisson and Stephen Gallacher. For Europeans are | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
ranked in the world 's top six with Rory McIlroy right at the head of | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
the pile. The US challengers haven't won away from home in 21 years. They | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
field three new boys with Jordan Spieth, Walker and Patrick Reed. | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Phil Mickelson makes a record-breaking 10th Ryder Cup | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
appearance for America. The scene at 7:30am. Players facing one of the | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
most terrifying moments of their career. Ivor Robson was feeling the | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
tension. Early-morning nerves from everybody | :03:25. | :03:52. | |
including Ivan Robson. A rookie with his opening tee shot. The Ryder Cup | :03:53. | :04:02. | |
begins. I'm not sure about that one. He put it into the sky. It's a long | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
way to reach the fairway, but he just about manages it. | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
He likes to hear the noise. Bubba Watson is a law under himself. How | :04:20. | :04:33. | |
he does it I know not, but he does. Nestle. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Justin Rose has become a beautiful player. Look at that swing. Perfect | :04:38. | :04:57. | |
balance. Beautiful shot, straight down the middle of the fairway. | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
On the tee Henrik Stenson. A good partner in Henrik Stenson. What an | :05:06. | :05:18. | |
end to last season. Here he goes. Smacks it away. He finds the | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
fairway. The matches begin. | :05:24. | :05:29. |
