2002 Ryder Cup

The 34th Ryder Cup was held 27–29 September 2002 in England, on the Brabazon Course at The Belfry in Wishaw, Warwickshire .

The European team won the competition by a margin of 151⁄2 to 121⁄2, the largest margin of victory in the Ryder Cup since the European team won 161⁄2 to 111⁄2 in 1985, also played at The Belfry. Both teams were tied at 8 points going into the Sunday singles matches. Sam Torrance had put most of his best players out early while Curtis Strange had opted to do the opposite. Momentum swung for Europe and after Phillip Price defeated Phil Mickelson 3 & 2, Europe needed 1⁄2 point for victory. The decisive 1⁄2 point was secured by Paul McGinley in his match against Jim Furyk after he holed a 10-foot par putt on the 18th hole.
