The captain of the European team, Luke Donald, is considered by many to be the most important figure in the victory of the European team over the American team at Bethpage Black. As a man with great visions and vast experience, he did everything to make his team celebrate on the away soil and write history in a unique way.
The European team has not celebrated on away soil since 2012 and the miracle in Medina.
In a media interview, Luke Donald shared his emotions after the magnificent victory. The fact that in the first sentence he praised the Americans, especially Keegan Bradley, the captain of their team, speaks volumes for his character.

On the other hand, he only had words of praise for his players who excelled especially during the first two days. Although nervousness was felt even during the last day, in the end they managed to raise the trophy.
The home crowd was with their players from the first day and it was known that they would give the Europeans big problems in an atmosphere that was really hot.
However, it is clear that Luke Donald worked with his players day in and day out, explaining to them how to deal with such an atmosphere and the pressure of such tournaments.
