Spirit of Seve

Amazing comeback in the Ryder cup last night.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/golf/19780678

 Sadly the event has been lost to Sky TV so not able to watch, but could still listen to the great BBC R5 team and they made up in atmosphere for the lack of visuals.

 Compelling listening from the first ball to last, with Rory McIlroy  making Cup cheese history early on  by getting his time zones confused and nearly missing his start time and Tiger Woods rounding off a thoroughly miserable weekend for the USA by conceding a very missable putt to give Europe overall victory.

Many, including the captain Jose Maria Olazabal, hailed the victory as a truly fitting memorial to one of the greatest of Ryder cup players Seve Ballesteros, a comeback in a style he would have been very proud of, see this very moving moment at the end of this clip
