Memories of Medina





Jose Maria Olazabal
When it was all over we retired to the locker room and the team presented me with the flag from the 18th green. That was very special and will have pride of place at home. The other thing was the emotion on the faces of the players after what we achieved had sunk in, and the embraces I shared with Poults, G-Mac, Justin Rose and all the boys.

Rory McIlroy
My lasting memory would have to be the team meeting on the Saturday night after we had given ourselves a glimmer of hope. I’d heard people talk about what an inspiring speaker Jose Maria Olazabal was and he proved it. To be honest, I can’t remember what he said but I looked around the room and there were people who had tears in their eyes. We all left that night 
 believing the miracle was most definitely one we could make happen. 

 

Francesco Molinari
I think the experience of playing the last few holes with Tiger in the final singles match at the Ryder Cup. We become used to playing in front of big crowds but that was something else again. To be in that position is something that not many players get the chance to experience, and I feel very blessed to have been among the privileged few.
