Huge help

Lawrie is relishing playing under Torrance. "Sam was a vice-captain at the Ryder Cup when I played in 1999 and he was a huge help that week. I asked him a lot of questions. "I think he was the first professional golfer that called me when I won the Open at Carnoustie and that says a lot about him. I tried so hard to get on his Ryder Cup team, almost too hard. I played too much and was desperate to part of his squad. "Paul McGinley always said he was the best captain he played for so I'm really looking forward to next week."
