European Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke has added Sam Torrance to his backroom staff for the match at Hazeltine in September. The Scot joins Thomas Bjorn, Padraig Harrington, Paul Lawrie and Ian Poulter as the five vice captains.
Clarke just needs another seven vice captains and all 12 European players will have their own personal attendants. We appear to be heading that way.
Seems European Ryder Cup captains can’t win without a slew of lieutenants to make sure players are supplied with a ready supply of water bottles, dry towels and even room service if they suddenly get hungry on the ninth tee.
