"Yeah, I'm glad I survived that. The crowd have just been amazing all week. Like I was saying before, it's not about individual achievements. "I won twice already The Ryder Cup without scoring a full point before this week, and I'm glad I finally got some points on the board this week. But you know, we do it together. We do it as a group. Look at what Thorbjørn did today. It's incredible."As for Rahm, he was delighted to make a telling contribution on Singles Sunday by downing Woods. Having missed a tiddler to win on 16, the Spaniard refocused and crushed a drive up the 17th fairway before wedging his approach to within four feet of the pin. His stone-cold description of how he was not going to buckle to the 14-time Major winner shows he has the mentality to win Majors. He told Sky Sports:
"Well, if you break it down, apart from what's happened at that point, I was 1 UP going into 17, all the pressure was on Tiger. Par, par would probably win it. "And then once he missed the fairway, I was beyond focused on hitting that fairway. And I hit it right on my spot, about as hard as I can hit a drive. I don't know how far it went, but it was hard. To have 117 metres to that pin, it's just ridiculous. And then just 3/4 to 52 it's exactly the same shot I had on No. 1, and I stiffed it to five feet, and this time I stiffed it to four feet. And it was a really good redemption feeling after missing the one on 16. "I'd much rather win making a birdie and the way I did than having to par it. Everything happens for a reason, and that was the reason today."Molinari and Rahm both played a part in a stunning trouncing of Team USA's star-studded line-up.
