Justin Rose on the Miracle in Medinah | Medinah Memories

[@MainlyWrestling]

Superb piece of film. Great history, and what a man Justin Rose is. Great respect for how he altered his celebrations at 18 given the proximity to Phil. Proper class act!

[@davidcroft513]

I am English, a grown man 61 years old. I have watched this many times... I have cried every time

[@TheSpaniel1]

I am only a couple of years behind you and it does the same to me

[@tonybytheway7543]

@@TheSpaniel1 I'm English and I was living on the States at the time. I watched all three days and I was in bits on the Sunday. Can't watch any of the Medinah tributes without bringing tears to my eyes. Two great teams, two great captains, one fantastic match, one hundred memories I'll have for the rest of my life.

[@MainlyWrestling]

Same. When I see Oli going, always breaks me.

[@DanTwigGolf]

Ryder Cup is the best tournament in golf

[@dunc_leaper]

That's an incredible video, Justin you are one classy gentleman

[@munnjean]

Oh you certainly have that right ,,, what an absolute class guy Justin Rose is ,,, the complete gentleman golfer ,,, what a pleasure this was to watch.

[@aidanprice8479]

Purè class mr rose.i could watch that putt on 17 a thousand times and still think that was just incredible. A true gentleman to the end...

[@andyhills9972]

Excellent video. Not in the video, but my best memory was Mickelson giving Rose a thumbs up as he putted at 17. Great sportsmanship

[@cheapshic]

strange how that wasnt in there

[@user-tt3vp1uw6o]

@@cheapshic Agree

[@strongteee]

my fondest memory of the whole Ryder Cup even trumping the victory. Phil knew he was gone but still had the dignity of giving Justin the respect.

[@peterhulse3562]

True sportsmanship from mickelson and yes somewhat strange it not being in the video, I loved that moment he gave the thumbs up on 17

[@ivanriverooo]

Mickelson is a nation transcending heart reaching golfer who is dearly loved in Europe. Best notch out there.

[@bjnwright]

Ian Poulter could be ranked 500+ in the World Rankings .. and still come out and win his Ryder Cup matches. The man is a match play beast.

[@choide19]

bjnwright Poults is just insane in matchplay

[@Jarl.M]

He thrives in that environment.

[@1362pc]

and now Rory & Co worked hard to have many on that team banned from Ryder cup. or even from the team room...what a disgrace

[@biglummox9862]

It's not matchplay, it's having a team around him. He's such a competitor when he has someone else to play for. If he played any other sport he would be a world beater. He's a team player, playing an individual sport. I love the postman, an incredible competitor. ❤

[@amelieholbrook3001]

What a gorgeous piece. Thank you, European Tour, for making this accessible on KZbin. Thank you, Justin Rose, for telling your story with such honest and compassion for all involved. Truly breathtaking. And I say this as an American too young to know this was even happening at the time! :)

[@garyreilly2025]

Nice comment

[@Milkydrummer]

I’m a massive sports fan but not a golfer, never really played, never really watched! But I had sky sports at the time of this and have to say, this is still one of the greatest sporting moments I have ever seen… watching it unfold, I could not believe what I was seeing! The tension was unreal!

[@scottsheerin6181]

Can remember this like it was yesterday. That point Justin Rose pointed Seve on his top I bawled my eyes out. Amazing memories. 😍👌🤷🏻‍♂️

[@adamphillips4786]

Justine Rose...you are a superstar. Even as an Australian I love the Ryder Cup. It's the best golf tournament by far. Go Europe.

[@daveboston5929]

The best sporting event full stop for me.

[@jorge9717]

I don't think that we will ever see another Ryder Cup like this one, very special for many reasons.

[@garyreilly2025]

Hell i hope not, my ticker wouldnt take it

[@dyenzendavidson7579]

Thank you for sharing your story. Justin is one of my favorite golfers.❤❤❤

[@davidpennick7441]

I remember on the Sunday thinking - I'll just pop the golf on to see how its going but couldn't bare watching the Yanks win. In the end the next 4 or 5 hours were amongst the best of my life. Just amazing.

[@kevinfraser7]

I remember watching him finish fourth in the Open as an amateur - 1998 possibly - he was 17. Turned pro, the did nothing, except graft for 10 years. Testament to his commitment and determination, his head never dropped. Now he has a Major, an Olympic Gold medal and some fabulous Ryder Cup memories. Justin, you are indeed a class act on and off the Golf Course. Terrific video.

[@shawnn7502]

Great look back at an amazing event with incredibly disappointing result as an American, but I can appreciate it now more when I look back and see it though the eyes of a class act like Justin Rose. I don't think there is much argument that these were the two greatest Ryder Cup teams to face each other during my lifetime. The US would be the favorite because we were at home and had Tiger and Phil leading the team, though both were past their prime, especially Tiger. To go along with that, the US had a great group of rising stars in Bubba Watson, Webb Simpson, Jason Dufner, Zach Johnson, Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley. Justin is right that the US had the more natural pairs, which is rare for the Americans. I never thought of that before, but it is obvious thinking back on it. On the otherhand, the Euro team per the World Rankings might have had the best team they'd ever had. That team had 4 of the top 5 ranked players in the world in Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, Justin Rose and Lee Westwood. That isn't even counting Martin Kaymer, who was #1 in the world just the year before, or Graeme McDowell who was #4 in the world the prior year as well. When you add in two of the greatest Ryder Cup players of all time in Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter, you have a truly great team that underachieved the first two days of the event. Sure, no one thought Sunday would happen the way it did because of what we saw the prior two days, but when you put the 12 Euros up against the 12 Americans, the Euros were favored to win the majority of the matches. Unlike what happened in Brookline in '99, when the US team dominated the Euros on Sunday, the Sunday matches were almost all closely fought matches with all but 3 of them making it to the 17th green or beyond. It was actually the 17th hole that doomed the US team. Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk both saw their matches, which they led, turn on that hole. And they weren't alone. The 17th was a true hole of horror for the US team all day long. For me the Furyk-Sergio match was the key. Furyk led most the way. Sergio for a rare time did not have a great Ryder Cup and was not particularly playing good golf. Even after the Euros ran off the first 5 wins, the US would have followed with the next 4 matches if it hadn't been for Furyk's collapse. In a way, it was the perfect encapsulation of the Ryder Cup careers of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Jim Furyk- great American players with terrible Ryder Cup records. Their generation would herald the beginning of Euro domination at the Ryder Cup.

[@stevenchampion8137]

Respect to you sir. Some we win, some we lose. Valhalla was tough to take. Brookline still stings. Kiwah Island? Well... But I digress ... this is all just a test of one's dignity. Be a good winner, not just stoic in defeat. It was Chip Beck who said "every good man is tested in the crucible of humiliation". Chip had played astonishingly at the World Matchplay, Wentworth (1990? Can't remember) ... knocking flags out left, right and centre. I really liked him. The Golf Machine! As a kid I was into Homer Kelley and Mac O'Grady you see. Although my swing was far closer to being a non functional mix of Eamon Darcy and Jim Furyk's. The following day, Chip was pulverised 9&7 by Seve. Chip showed dignity and they faced eachother again. Best regards to you. I hope you're well.

[@stevenchampion8137]

... well put. It was always a bit perplexing how Tiger never really fully showed up at these events. Win or lose (or sometimes draw) The Ryder Cup in magical. The defeats are what makes the victories so powerful. Seve in 1983 telling everyone to be proud, to be upbeat, because now we knew we could, and would, start making a fist of it.

[@TheToffee1878]

Mind-blowing event. I can remember kneeling in front of the tv when Kaymer stood over that putt to win his match. The agony of it and then the ecstasy. Brilliant.

[@Pflueger76]

What a great player. What a great lad. What an unmatched historical event of golf.

[@sarrialways]

Gracias a todo el equipo europeo por haber honrado la memoria de Seve. La mejor Ryder Cup de la historia.

[@jonathanh2605]

so so glad i was on the planet to watch these boys play golf

[@haydensmith7488]

Unreal video. So great to see the moment of reservation when Rose saw Phil after holing it on 18, rather than default to overzealous celebration. that alone gave me neck shivers.

[@wiliss3670]

It is always great to see good , respectable sportsmanship.. and this a good example.

Wish there were more of these types of videos from other Ryder Cups. Great stuff.

[@NPA1001]

This was one of the great Match Play finishes of all time, Phil made two incredible pars from one up... and Justin made two incredible Birdies from one down to win. 👏👏👏👏

Rose always comes across as one of the good guys on tour. He also always in my thoughts when I’m thinking of my major bets.

[@staticcentrehalf7166]

Say what you like about the Yanks (I've been to two US based Ryder Cups and it wasn't nice on a few occasions), Mickelson's sportsmanship in his singles with Rose is among the finest I've ever seen. In any sport.

[@gavincamp1147]

Agree. You do not see it here but the clap and thumbs up he gave Rose after that put on 17.

[@phughes4224]

[@ageary]

Justin and Phil 2 gentlemen golfers with utmost respect........

[@stevenchampion8137]

Every emotion. Was working in a pro shop in the Bedford, UK, area at the time, and on a sunny Monday a three-ball of burly American gentleman came in. I was polite, and resisted the temptation to gloat (not really my thing amyway) or whatever. Of course, the interaction naturally involved last night's events. They were utterly beleaguered and couldn't comprehend how they'd been defeated. They bemoaned this at length. I didn't really need to say much. A low voice, respectful yet with a dry humoured edge, came from the doorway, and a well renowned short-game coach said "never in doubt". Our visitors were perplexed and headed out to play what i imagine would have been with somewhat less hubris had The Miracle not occurred!! We won with Seve in our hearts, destined, just as it would be so when The King was with our rivals when it came to his sad passing. Golf is about mutual respect, sportmanship, and taking the blows with dignity and rising up once more. So, on to Bethpage Park in 2025. Can't wait.

[@brettschmidt799]

Shout out European tour. Amazing content always

[@bbselects2617]

Rosey is such a gent. A true representative of the game. Class act.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Team golf is a blast! Playing in high school match tournaments were the best. When I would play in amateur opens, its just you against the course, trying to go low. Its much more fun to celebrate or commiserate with your teammates.

[@gustavolangoni3789]

I remember watching Justin Rose's putt on 17 like it was yesterday. Felt like losing a soccer match in the last minute on a golden goal. Really great putt, but there was some luck involved to make it from that distance as well. In the end a great story and a career moment for him.

[@BMW7series251]

I wish there was a book on The Miracle at Medinah where all the European players and captains contribute to the book. Maybe Poulter gets a chapter, Rory, Rose, Kaymer and Olazabal. Then a writer tells the rest of the story and connects their chapters.

[@ivanriverooo]

@@timh3375 I cannot believe it. Then they will complain golf isn't more popular. Well, it won't be because of lack of Passion and amateurs in each country it seems. I am getting back on the game after years. One of the reasons, it's just unaffordable in Spain. Yeah, the country of Seve, the reason why I started playing, after he passed, does not like amateurs coming into the game. Let's say it is very selective on them
