Last quiz question.

I know nothing about golf so don't understand the question.

Which golfer halfed his match at the Ryder Cup in 2002 to clinch the championship for Europe.

Does this mean Parnevik who won it for Europe - or Woods who conceded the match.

Cinema tickets all round. :)

McGinley sealed the win for Europe against Furyk, right after Azinger had holed out his sand shot. Woods was still playing when Europe clinched.

But Woods halved his match, which is in the question.....

Give us the exact question, Livvie.

McGinley would be my answer.

I just remember that Woods came under a little criticism for continuing play with Parnevik after the Cup was decided, and the Irishman clinching and jumping in the lake. Furyk almost made the same shot as Azinger to win that match.

"Which golfer halfed his match at the Ryder Cup in 2002 to clinch the championship for Europe."

Last question I have, and need it by tonight. :)

I can't find anything which says McGinley halved his match.

Yikes, you were up early Liv. Scouring for quiz answers no doubt!

McGinley created some real excitement on the 17th by running in a 12-footer for birdie to win the hole after Furyk had missed from just outside that range. The match was all square heading to the last hole. The Irishman then won the Ryder Cup by clinching Europe's 15th point on the final green. He pulled his second shot well to the left of the green, giving Furyk a chance at the win. But he then pitched to 11 feet and sank his putt for a most historic par.

How about that Livvie?
