Europe’s dramatic 2012 Ryder Cup win in Medinah, Illinois, is often referred to as the ‘Miracle at Medinah’.<\/p>\n
It was Europe’s first win in the United States since 2004 – and Europe have not won an away Ryder Cup since winning in Medinah.<\/p>\n
Heading into the final day, the United States led 10-6 and needed just 4\u00bd points from the 12 singles matches to win the Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n
Instead, Europe recorded eight wins and a tie from the final matches of the weekend, winning 14\u00bd-13\u00bd – now regarded among the greatest comebacks in sporting history.<\/p>\n
Luke Donald, Ian Poulter, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Paul Lawrie, Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer all posted final-day victories, with Francesco Molinari halving with Tiger Woods in the final match.<\/p>\n
Given the scale of the comeback, the ‘Miracle at Medinah’ is frequently referenced in the world of golf, particularly in Ryder Cup build-up and during the weekend’s play.<\/p>\n
It will probably be mentioned several times in the 2025 contest, with Donald captaining Europe for a second consecutive Ryder Cup, and fellow triumphant Medinah players McIlroy and Rose also part of Europe’s team this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Europe’s dramatic 2012 Ryder Cup win in Medinah, Illinois, is often referred to as the ‘Miracle at Medinah’.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":161661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-161660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
