Final Shot with Jamie Donaldson

The Welshman, who will forever be remembered as the man who claimed the winning point in Europe’s victory in the 2014 Ryder Cup, talks to Louie Chan about his favourite course, who would be in his dream fourball and dream come true at the Ryder Cup

Who would be in your dream fourball?

Some of these people are sadly not with us but I choose inspirational people Kenny Dalglish, Nelson Mandela and Winston Churchill.

How's your recovery from injury? 

I've been injured before with my back so it's a matter of being patient and sticking to the Rehab plan, however frustrating that can be. I'm looking forward to hitting balls very soon when my elbow is cleared to start building for the 2017 season again. 

You are the man who claimed the winning point in Europe's victory in the 2014 Ryder Cup. How does it feel to be a Ryder Cup hero?

I don't really see myself as a hero, I was part of a team under Captain Paul McGinley. You dream of hitting the winning shot or putt in the Ryder Cup growing up, it was fortunate that in 2014 I had that opportunity. Of course, I will never forget it but equally I was part of a winning team too.
