:With his trademark dry sense of humour, and ever-present pencil behind the ear, Sam Torrance is arguably one of Britain's most popular golfer. The son of Bob, a highly respected instructor and club professional at Largs on the Ayshire coast, Sam was born to play golf; and he has never been out of the limelight since turning professional in 1970. He will be toasted forever as the man who holed the putt on the final green at The Belfy in 1985 to win the Ryder Cup for Europe for the first time in nearly three decades. During a long career he has always worn his heart on his sleeve and has never been afraid to speak his mind or try new things - shortly after that famous putt in 1985, his stroke began to fail him and he became the pioneer of the controversial "broom-handle" method, which is now widely used by a number of players on tour. In this out-spoken, but often humorous, autobiography he speaks about his life on tour, his family - particularly his inspirational father - that unforgettable moment at the Belfry; and his hopes for the 1999 Ryder Cup at Brookline in his capacity as European vice-captain.
