November 2, 2012 by
MEDINAH, Ill. — The first match of the day was always going to be the most important for the European Ryder Cup team. Grab the first point and you give the rest of the squad belief. Lose and the “Rout at Medinah” would’ve likely been on. Jose Maria Olazabal had to choose wisely. He needed […]
