Wow, he did that many RC's. Respect!
Sam and his dad bob are legends, can remember watching sam back in the day, and bob was a great coach used to watch him and padraig for ages on the range at Wentworth. In my opinion these were the golden days for Europe, and the top european golfers actually played on our tour, now theirs no cohesion the top Europeans play full time pretty much in America, and the team pick is now from what i consider not the best of the best, victor hovland is no. 17 in the ryder cup standings this is a joke, he has to be a pick, because of mcilroy going to the pga so early in his career it has destroyed our tour, and i cant see us competing against the Americans again at that standard, of the 80s and 90s
more than golf…one of the best people on the planet
What a fantastic video! Sam Torrance almost had me in tears – his passion was palpable!
This is brilliant. Sam is brilliant – thank you!
Fabulous, what a good build up for what’s to come very soon 🙏
The world has changed since Sams RC days. Today both teams play together on the US tour so the rivalry is simulated. As a proud European I no longer care who wins because I already know the winner is the PGA tour.
thanks Ryder Cup media/social team for this!!! Wonderful content.
Great editing. Sam is up there as one of the best Europe Captains since Seve, much better than Faldo anyway 😅
Sam’s 22 foot or 25 foot putt,depends what paper you read , was made with a putter borrowed from my brother-in-law Jimmy Shannon. Sam had his clubs stolen a couple of weeks before the 85 Ryder Cup. He figured that replacing the woods and irons was not a problem as the they could be duplicated and he had some time to get used to them but he was fond of his putter and Wilson had stopped making the in 1962/63,so he could not replace it.Sam was talking to the head pro at Gleneagles and told him of his problem and described the putter,make and model and the pro said I know someone who has the same club,lt was my brother-in-law who was a member at Gleneagles.The pro called Jimmy and asked if Sam could borrow the club to play in the Ryder Cup,Jimmy said you bet and rest is history.
