But the sunrise was lovely if a little fierce for my lens so I used a graduated filter to darken the sky and reduce the flare. This created an awesome sunrise adding a great balance with the huge crowds. I cannot imagine the pressure Matt was feeling but I know him he was loving every second and luckily I grabbed that split second of his first Ryder Cup shot!"⠀
