The 43-year-old is back in action on Scottish soil in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship this week, just four days after helping Europe to a memorable triumph over the USA at Medinah. Lawrie, who aided the European charge with a fine 5&3 singles win over Brandt Snedeker, is in the form of his life and is currently 28th in the world rankings. The 1999 Open champion has made no secret of the fact he wants to play on the European team again when the Ryder Cup comes to Scotland in two years' time.
