Ryder Cup at Hazeltine almost within grasp
Lee Slattery fans – this one’s for you! The 38-year old Englishman with the best ‘James Bond good looks’ on the European Tour first caught the eye of Dutch golf fans at the Kennemer GC in September 2015. Fresh from his victory in the Russian Open, he very nearly walked-off with the KLM Open title that year too. It was a great start to the Ryder Cup qualifying period.
More than one million Ryder Cup points later, ‘Golfing Inspirations’ meets up with Lee again in Holland. We talk about life back in the winner’s circle, combining a new family with his playing career and, naturally, with the next edition only a few weeks away, the Ryder Cup! We were in the nick-of-time – two hours’ later Lee was flying in a sponsor’s private jet to Italy with a select group of other Tour players. As Lee himself admits: “We’re all blessed to be out here playing this game”.
