Best dressed on Tour? Nick Job

Worst dressed? Ian Mosey

Funniest person? Tony Johnstone

Favourite food? Medium rare steak and a glass of Rioja

First car? Mini

First job? In the shoe department at John Lewis, Reading. I lasted a couple of years before getting the sack for playing too much golf

Which famous person do you look like? Michael Caine

My biggest thrill was playing with Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson in the Senior British Open at Turnberry.

A book, CD and DVD for a Desert Island? Book would be some sort of thriller, CD would be Take That and DVD The Magnificent Seven

Best swing tip? Release the club to the left

Any superstitions?

I only use white tees, and I don’t use balls with a 2 on them. And I always use white balls and white gloves

Favourite moment? That would be my first win on European Tour.

And I would say my biggest thrill was playing with Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson in the Senior British Open at Turnberry
