The 2012 Ryder Cup can be summed up in one easy phrase for the European team, a Miracle at Medinah. Being down 10-6 entering the final day of the tournament, and with the spirit of the late Seve Ballesteros on their side, the European team rallied and won 14 ½ - 13 ½ to retain the Ryder Cup trophy.

The 39th Ryder Cup will surely go down in history as the "Miracle at Medinah". This biennial clash had more drama packed into its three days of competition than captain's Davis Love III or José María Olazábal could have ever imagined. With Seve Ballesteros looking over their shoulder, the European squad overcame great odds and retained the cup with a miraculous 14½-13½ victory. The U.S. team dominated play for the first two days. Only an incredible and raucous late Saturday afternoon performance by England's Ian Poulter stemmed the tide and gave the European squad some ray of hope. Trailing 10-6 beginning on Sunday's singles finals, Europe achieved one of the greatest comebacks in Ryder Cup history by winning eight and tying one of the 12 singles matches played. Relive all the drama, from exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, to the thrilling finish, the emotional victory celebration, and the despair of defeat that only a Ryder Cup can produce.
