As intense that it can be the Ryder Cup, it also has a good amount of moments that make your eyes well.
Here are six of the most moving moments in the history of the Ryder Cup of almost 100 years.
Rory is full of circle
Rory Mcilroy caught the heat in 2009 when he called the Ryder Cup “an exhibition” that “was not so important” for him.

Well, the Europe team was beaten in Whistling Straits in 2021, and it was clear that he had made a total of 180 of his previous thoughts.
“The more and more play in this event, I realize that it is the best event in Golf, without excrementing,” Mcilroy said, fighting tears. “I love being part of that. I can’t wait to be part of many more. It’s the best …
“They have always been my greatest experiences in my career. I have never cried or excited about what I have done as an individual. I can’t give myself a s —, but this team and what you feel … all that is phenomenal, and I am very happy to be part of that.”
Seve look down in Europe
The Ryder Cup 2012 in Medinah was the first since Seve Ballesteros, an important factor in what is the Ryder Cup today, died today at 54 years of brain cancer.
Ballesteros put the European team on the map when the Great Britain and Ireland team expanded to include the entire continent, making it a pillar.
Team Europe continued 10-6 entering Sunday singles along the way. In honor of Ballesteros, the European team used touches of its typical navy blue on Sunday to call some magic, and worked.
The Europeans were 8-3-1 in Sunday’s singles to win the Cup, 14.5-13.5, crowned by the Martin Kaymer Cup putt.
After the victory, the European team captain and his Spanish partner José Maria Olazabal could barely maintain their emotions under control.
“This is for him,” he said, covering his face with his hat.
A heavy heart
Darren Clarke, fans’ favorite, was playing in his fifth Ryder Cup in 2006. But he was playing only six weeks after his wife’s death.
Clarke entered the K Club in Ireland with a heavy heart, but fans gave him the strongest ovations throughout the week.
Clarke won the three games, including a victory of 3 and 2 singles against Zach Johnson, where Clarke broke almost instantly in tears and shared long hugs with the members of the US team. UU.

Nicklaus recognizes
Perhaps the best sportiness moment occurred in 1969 in Royal Birkdale in England in a singles match between Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin.
After Nicklaus stopped 18, the United States had enough points to retain the Ryder Cup, so everything Europe could do was lose directly. But Nicklaus picked up Jacklin’s ball score, admitting the 3 -foot putt, which turned out that the Ryder Cup ended in a draw.
“I don’t think you would have missed it, but I wasn’t going to give you the opportunity either,” Nicklaus told Jacklin.

Perhaps it was a mutual benefit for Nicklaus (although it was said that the US captain Sam Snead was angry with Nicklaus for losing the opportunity for a direct victory), but since then it has become a basic moment of the Ryder Cup. From 2021, the Nickla-Jacklin Award has been awarded to the members of each team that best exemplifies sportsmanship. The duo also designed the concession golf club in Sarasota.
Patrick Reed, Rory Mcilroy realizes the moment
Rory Mcilroy and Patrick Reed were the first Singles game on Sunday in Hazeltine, and both showed an incredible emotion in all 18 holes. Mcilroy was silent to the multitude of the United States after putts, while Reed would bow to his applause.
In the eighth hole of the eighth pair, Mcilroy was far away, approximately 45 feet up to 15 Reed. But after making the putt almost impossible, Mcilroy, the same golfer who said he does not “run around a fist” during a cup of Ryder, lets a scattered cry escape and shouted: “Come on! I can’t listen to you!”
But Reed knocked down his putt and gave Mcilroy the old finger of Dikembe Mutombo.
Mcilroy, however, could not avoid breaking a smile, and after celebrating with the crowd, reed and mcilroy, fists, beaten and throbbing in the back.
It is still perhaps the most tense individual party of all time, and this moment does not tear exactly in the Hearts, but even both golfers could recognize the beauty of a magical moment.
The rivals find respect
Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo were two of the greatest golf rivals before the change of the century.
Both teachers from their trade from abroad, the two had very different game styles and attitudes, all while trying to hit the course.

But in 1995, when skirt dropped the putt of the cup, one of the first people to hug him was Ballesteros, which contained the tears.
After Ballesteros died, a skirt accredited Ballesteros for helping to make the Ryder Cup what it is today.
