It comes as no surprise Graeme McDowell has been named as a 2021 European Ryder Cup captain whereas it is a surprise double major winning Martin Kaymer will join Padraig Harrington’s Whistling Straits support staff. Both McDowell and Kaymer have written their names into Ryder Cup folklore with McDowell holing the winning putt at the 2010 Ryder Cup in Wales and then two years later, it was Kaymer who holed the victory putt at the ‘Miracle of Medinah.

Though that’s exactly what happened with Jon Rahm captured the 121st U.S. Open title Sunday at Torrey Pines in proudly singling out the late Jose Manuel Cortizas.
