At the 1987 Ryder Cup in Ohio, Team Europe won a 15—13 victory—the first win on U.S. soil for the visitors in the 60 years of the competition. Of the 12 players on that team, five would go on to captain victorious European Ryder Cup teams between 1997 and 2012. Name two of those five, and note that Nick Faldo is the only member of the team to have captained and lost. (Incidentally, five players from the American team would go on to captain a Ryder Cup side, resulting in just one victory.)
