Like a Hollywood script...

Two hankie warning for this article in the Telegraph. The bit I loved was Paul McGinley talking to Ollie, alone in the locker room before the Sunday singles:

Ollie, if Seve is in heaven and he’s trying to write a script, sitting with the best Hollywood scriptwriter, and he was asked what way do you want Ollie to win a Ryder Cup, it would be that for two days you get battered and then you get a character like Poulter who keeps you just within touching distance. Then you come on strong and win in the last match. That’s what he’d write and maybe that’s what our script is today.

*sniff* Right, so what about casting? Jake Gyllenhall for Poulter...

Thank you! I've been trying since Saturday to remember Paul McGinley's name!

I could picture him clearly but the name eluded me. I even Googled European Ryder Cup teams since the 1990s, knowing I'd recognise his name if I saw it, but it didn't come up! And I glimpsed him amongst all the celebrations on Sunday night, but there was nobody with me to shout "That's him! What's his name?" at.

My mind is now at rest. I shall now go and read the article in the Telegraph!

LOL There have been many renditions of "The day the Ryder Cup was won by Paddy McGinley's putt" in the run up to this year's event.

If you ever need Ryder Cup info, wikipedia is surprisingly comprehensive.
