No offence to Bob MacIntyre but it was of the one of the great snaps in the lead-up to the 44th Ryder Cup week and that was the photograph taken of the champion Scot in his hotel room decked-out in European Ryder Cup theme pyjamas.

‘Proud’ and ‘Incredible’ .. Words chosen, the first by Tommy Fleetwod and then Matt Fitzpatrick to describe the experience of last week’s European success at the Ryder Cup.
