"I don’t want to leave any stone unturned"
What are some of your fondest memories from the Ryder Cup over the years?
I’d go back to 1985 and Sam Torrance standing arms aloft on the 18th green at The Belfry. I would have been 14 at the time. I used to play at Christy O’Connor Senior’s golf club and his golf bags were all on display there. I remember Eamonn Darcy holing that putt down the green at Muirfield Village in ‘87, and of course Christy O’Connor Junior’s 2-iron into the final green at The Belfry in ‘89. In ’95, I recall Philip Walton being hoisted aloft. The Irish did well in it; we are connected to it. It was part of our heritage growing up.
