Both players have maintained a perfect bond that shows when they play the doubles in the Ryder Cup together: they make an almost unbeatable pair. In 2012, he was the captain of a team who made an unthinkable comeback to beat the Americans in Chicago. Individually, Chemma (that is his nickname) won 2 Masters of Augusta and 21 tournaments on the European Tour. At the Morocco Champions 2020, in Marrakech, he was the author of a hole-in-one during the 2nd round of the PGA Champions Tour tournament.
