Jose Maria Olazabal says that he still gets emotional when watching footage of Europe's Ryder Cup triumph in 2012.

Jose Maria Olazabal has admitted that he still gets emotional about Europe's Ryder Cup success from last year when watching it on DVD.

The team, who will all compete in PGA Championship at Wentworth this week, trailed 10-6 at the beginning of the final day in Medinah before recovering to record a sensational 14½-13½ triumph.

The victorious party were reunited at the recent European Tour gala dinner, and Olazabal conceded that thinking about their success together still makes him get emotional.

"It's going to be a great night, it's always nice to have those 12 guys under the same roof, what they did that week in Medinah was extraordinary," Olazabal told Sky Sports News.

"It was emotional, intense drama, we went through a lot of tough times during that week but somehow they managed to turn things around on that Sunday.

"I've had my time to settle things down, but every now and then I watch the DVD and I have to say I still get emotional."

The PGA Championship gets underway on Thursday.
