Ryder Cup: USA celebrate too early in 'Battle of Brookline'
Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.
In the 1999 Ryder Cup, following Justin Leonard's impressive putt at the 17th, the USA team celebrate prematurely on the green delaying José María Olazábal subsequent putt.
Some commentators viewed the US's behaviour as unsportsmanlike and it led to the event being dubbed the Battle of Brookline.
