Video: The Five Key Moments That Won The Ryder Cup For Europe

The final day of the 2014 Ryder Cup was so full of magical moments this was a tough exercise.

That's not saying this wasn't a team effort because it absolutely was but for me these moments were critical.



So here we go.


5. Rory Becomes The Leader


Rory McIlroy six under through six holes and five up and Rickie Fowler. That laid the foundation for a five and four win and got the first blue point on the board. Rory is now, and will be, the leader of Europe for many years to come.


4. The Justin Rose Seve Shot


Justin found himself hacking from a bush when one down to Hunter Mahan on the 13th. He produced one of the shots of the week. That triggered a fight back for a half point that signaled a big momentum change in Europe's favour.  "A little Seve moment for ya" said Rose after into the camera.



3.  Martin Kaymer Chips In


To beat Bubba Watson 4&2.  Two Major winners locked in an epic battle, it was going to take something special to settle this and the German duly delivered.


2. GMac Turns Over Spieth


GMac turning around his match and winning 2&1 against Jordan Spieth was arguably the most important turning point of the final day. Everything seemed to be going Spieth's way only for GMac to turn him over.


1. Jamie Donaldson's Airmail Delivery


 Four up with four to play it fell to Ryder Cup rookie Jamie Donaldson to deliver the winning point. And he did, via airmail, hitting his wedge stone dead. What a moment for Jamie and Europe.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
