Europe’s dramatic 2012 Ryder Cup win in Medinah, Illinois, is often referred to as the ‘Miracle at Medinah’.<\/b><\/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<\/div>\n
