Sam Torrance may well have been a joker throughout his golf career, but fellow players were left laughing at him when his time came to meet the 'world's most beautiful woman'.
The likeable Scotsman is a legendary figure in UK and European circles, given his legacy in the Ryder Cup. He represented Europe eight times as a player, famously sinking the winning putt at the 18th green at The Belfry in 1985 - denying the Americans of the trophy for the first time in 28 years.
He was also part of the victorious squads in 1987, 1989, and 1995, and captained the side to glory back at The Belfry in 2002. In doing so, he became only the second European player to both sink the winning putt and captain a successful side.
