I was watching one of the PGA Tour’s ‘Outside the Ropes’ interviews the other day, this one with Justin Leonard. In it he mentions the 1999 Ryder Cup and 1997 British Open wins as his most memorable moments as a professional golfer, saying that he couldn’t choose one over the other.
It says a lot about Leonard, and the Ryder Cup, that he values the 1999 team success as much as his individual win in the British Open. Mind you, holing a 45 footer on the 17th to ultimately seal victory for the US would be hard to beat!
Anyway, I went in search of some footage from the 1999 Ryder Cup and found this great highlights package……could be a long time before there’s another Ryder Cup quite like it.
