Graeme McDowell describes Ryder Cup-winning moment as 'bananas' • 'The putt on the 16th was stuff I have dreamed about all my life'• McDowell's victory over Mahan gives Europe 14½-13½ winThe man who secured the point which won the Ryder Cup for Europe has described the moment as "bananas".Graeme McDowell, who holed a pressure putt on the 16th and then won the match at the 17th, said: "That was absolutely amazing. The putt on the 16th was stuff I have dreamed about all my life."McDowell's 3&1 victory over Hunter Mahan gave Europe a dramatic 14½ to 13½ triumph over the USA, with the Northern Irishman admitting he was more nervous than when he won the US Open this year."The US Open felt like the back nine with my dad back in Portrush compared to this," he said. "That was different. I was really nervous. Wow. It's a different feeling, there's so much pressure."McDowell also paid tribute to Europe's captain, Colin Montgomerie. "He was amazing for the last two years, he's been right up for this," he said, before adding: "There's nothing like Colin Montgomerie, he is the Ryder Cup for Europe and to do that for him today was something special."Montgomerie praised the Ulsterman in return, saying: "Graeme McDowell was put there for a very good reason. He's full of confidence and that showed. That birdie on 16 was quite unbelievable."I'm very proud. It's a very proud moment for us all here in Europe. They all played to a man magnificently, they all gave 110% and that's all you can ask."At one stage there were eight blue names on the board and it was over. But they weren't two-, three-up, they were one-up. It's a dangerous position to be in. They [the USA] came back extremely well. All credit to them. Tiger showed he was No1 in the world. Phil Mickelson did brilliantly."Asked about his own achievement, Montgomerie said: "I didn't hit a shot so it wasn't much of an achievement, but it's a proud, proud moment."Padraig Harrington described the winning feeling as "incredible" and "phenomenal". Harrington, one of Montgomerie's wild-card picks, said: "Every Ryder Cup's the same. There's nothing like it in golf."Lee Westwood, who lost the opening singles match to Steve Stricker but had been in fantastic form, added: "I've never been slapped on the back so often. We are really delighted. It's been a great team performance against a strong American side."1Ryder CupGolfColin MontgomerieLee Westwoodguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
