McDowell, selected as the 12th man out of the European locker room, had to wait just a touch more to become the hero, with Mahan needing to hole his putt to force the Northern Irishman to play. His uncharacteristic duff failed to even make the green. He would have played this exact shot thousands of times before, but this time the pressure appeared to crash down on the Texan.

The chatter from the walkie-talkies became redundant as all eyes rested on Mahan, who had to play first. Inside the ropes it was just as chaotic, with nearly every member of both teams congregated alongside the green. Thousands of fans trudged through the mud trying to wrestle a vantage point to see the decisive shots. As he began his short walk from the tee, the chants of "Europe" and "ole, ole, ole" which were being belted out by the home spectators echoed through the Welsh countryside. McDowell, shielding his eyes from the sun, squinted to see just how short the ball had come up. Mahan, with his red cap, black shirt and white wrap-around sunglasses hit his six-iron short, the ball coming to rest on an up-slope of grass cut like a lattice work in front of the green. McDowell navigated his tee shot to the front right of the green, the ball seemingly blown away from the bunker by the gasps of the crowd. That was a really instinctive piece of captaining,” said McDowell. The fans were going, and my heart rate was like 170!
