These doco's are absolutely brilliant. Whoever put them together is a genius

[@jpa221]

Lee Westwoods matchplay knowledge to give Stricker the putt so Nic would putt first against Tiger is pure masterclass matchplay.

[@bccoleman8678]

What is the significance?

[@jpa221]

@@bccoleman8678 When Lee Westwood conceded Strickers putt,he denied Tiger the option of putting first,thus allowing Nic to hole his putt and put all the pressure back on Tiger to make his putt.As Nic said,Tiger smiled to himself when Lee did it.Knowing full well he would of done exactly the same to them. Tiger then under immense pressure misses his putt. For Lee to have the calmness and focus to read the situation in the heat of battle shows what a great player he is.

How has this not had 9 billion views. Beautifully told story, incredible insight. Nicolas is a seriously intelligent guy.

[@Glidinatt]

not to be funny but i agree

[@dcrozier02]

If Nicolas had his tits out the views would be greater.

[@anaconda27975]

This is what Europe makes so special! One of the best debut matches ever played and still super humble! Ole Ole Ole

[@tiffer67]

An incredible example of a sportsman's mental strength & self belief raising his game to a level that nobody else could live with on that day. The motivation to contribute to, & not to let down your team, is incredibly powerful & one that golfers don't experience outside of this event.

[@izhamismail9875]

I happened to watch this last. But I think it’s one of the best in the series as it’s from a rookie’s point of view. And during the course of the video you actually feel him maturing from this rookie to being a master of the Ryder Cup. Great video guys! Thanks for the story Nicolas.

[@nickdepmode8766]

Best rookie score ever at Medina... what a classe act..Proud to be belgian!!!

[@daddylister]

He was fucking epic. -10 i think he went round in.

[@emiliostsiridis0660]

the best putter i have ever seen under pressure

[@oswjim]

11:18... this is the best! TEAM effort -- thank you 2012 Team Europe for the miracle!

[@FlightmanLHR]

What a fantastic interview, and a fantastic series of films. Thank you. 👍

[@jonbon-bz2cb]

Loved this, such a proud and amazing guy.

[@ramisramis7833]

He shot 10 under by himself that day. Insane against Tiger and Stricker

[@jpa221]

All pro sportsmen talk about being "in the zone" Nic was in it big time.

[@proprioceptive44]

Colsaerts played Woods and Stricker on his own 8 Birdies and an Eagle shot 62

[@bencoleman8171]

Legend!

[@lanky386]

Awesome interview.

[@renesohier5227]

brilliant interview - totally different guy when you watch him play. 'english knowledge not good enough'.....bloody hell, 95% of the Americans speak crappier English than he does.

[@matthewstocker6888]

Simply brilliant!

[@Seve007]

Amazing performance from a classy guy

[@keithmcclean2266]

Brilliant video.

[@haotingzhougolf9311]

I he played like this every round he would win 20 majors

[@DL-my5ot]

"this whole cinema going on" - you have to be Belgian to understand :-)

[@neilsimpson3359]

These videos would be so good if it wasn't for the incessant close ups of people's mouths....

[@aggers40]

What I want to know! Did Lee Westwood actually play or did Nic play Stricker & Woods on his own?

[@flemming0609]

Lee Westwood was just along for the sightseeing

[@nickdepmode8766]

Nicky boy just die the job all by himself... he played out of this world...

[@JamesSmith-qr7be]

Did Rory do one of these?

[@oliverizzard8751]

9:38 if that's 3 iron for him... Holy shit my driver probably wouldn't reach.

[@brookie1950]

Yes people there is a god ,and we can celebrate Nicolas Colsaerts winning in france today

[@pagedown4195]

[@Wouter197110]
