It was further commemorated during the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah, also known as the "Miracle at Medinah" after Europe's famous comeback. It was also the first Ryder Cup after Ballesteros' death due to brain cancer in May 2011 at the age of 54, and in his memory, Team Europe's kit bore the silhouette of Ballesteros' celebration. The team also wore navy blue and white garments – his traditional Sunday colors – for the Sunday singles.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/sep/25/ryder-cup-2012-europe-seve-ballesteros Ryder Cup 2012: Europe prepare final-day tribute to Seve Ballesteros Murray Ewan 24 September 2012 The Guardian 27 February 2019http://news.sky.com/story/991472/europe-win-ryder-cup-in-comeback-sensation Europe Win Ryder Cup in Comeback Sensation 1 October 2012 Sky Sports https://web.archive.org/web/20121112021005/http://news.sky.com/story/991472/europe-win-ryder-cup-in-comeback-sensation 12 November 2012 deadhttp://news.sky.com/story/991472/europe-wins-golfs-ryder-cup Europe Wins Golf's Ryder Cup Sky News 1 October 2012 1 October 2012 Course Old Course at St Andrews HoleNameYardsPar HoleNameYardsPar1Burn3704 10Bobby Jones34242Dyke411411High (In)17233Cartgate (Out)371412Heathery (In)31644Ginger Beer463413Hole O'Cross (In)42545Hole O'Cross (Out)564514Long56756Heathery (Out)416415Cartgate (In)41347High (Out)372416Corner of the Dyke38248Short178317Road46149End356418Tom Morris3544Out3,50136In3,43236Source:Total6,93372 Previous lengths of the course for The Open Championship (since 1950): 6933 yd - 1978 6957 yd - 1970 6926 yd - 1964 6936 yd - 1960, 1955 Round summaries First round Thursday, 19 July 1984 PlacePlayerScoreTo parT1 USA Peter Jacobsen67−5 SCO Bill Longmuir AUS Greg Norman4 AUS Ian Baker-Finch68−4T5 ESP Seve Ballesteros69−3 IRL Eamonn Darcy ENG Nick Faldo BRA 1968 Jaime Gonzalez USA Tom KiteT10 ESP José María Cañizares70−2 USA Fred Couples SCO Bernard Gallacher ENG Jeff Hall USA Rick Hartmann ENG Mark James AUS Graham Marsh JPN 1947 Tsuneyuki Nakajima ENG Martin Poxon USA Lee Trevino USA Lanny Wadkins Source:https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=zf89AAAAIBAJ&sjid=fUkMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3404%2C3736566 Glasgow Herald St Andrews first day scores 20 July 1984 20 Second round Friday, 20 July 1984 PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 AUS Ian Baker-Finch68-66=134−10T2 ESP Seve Ballesteros69-68=137−7 ENG Nick Faldo69-68=137 USA Lee Trevino70-67=1375 SCO Bill Longmuir67-71=138–-6T6 USA Fred Couples70-69=139−5 FRG Bernhard Langer71-68=139 USA Lanny Wadkins70-69=139 USA Tom Watson71-68=139T10 BRA 1968 Jaime Gonzalez69-71=140−4 USA Peter Jacobsen67-73=140 USA Tom Kite69-71=140 Amateurs: Sherborne (+2), McEvoy (+4), Olazábal (+5), Sigel (+5), Wood (+8), Hawksworth (+12).
