About José María Olazábal
- José María Olazábal Manterola (Spanish pronunciation: [xo'se ma'?ia ola'?aßal mante'?ola], Basque: [olas?abal]; born 5 February 1966) is a Spanish professional golfer from the Basque region who has enjoyed success on both the European Tour and the PGA Tour, and has won two major championships, both at The Masters. In 2012 he captained Europe's Ryder Cup team to a narrow victory over the US, which seemed improbable at the start of the final day's play when the Europeans trailed 10–6.
- They came back to win 14½–13½.
- Olazábal was very emotional with the win, saying in an interview that that was his number one happiest golf moment and happiest moment of his life.
- The win was inspired by his late friend Seve Ballesteros, to whom he dedicated the win.
