  • Nicolas colsaerts golf q&a

Nicolas Colsaerts has always been one of the great characters on the DP World Tour.

Not only has he grown in popularity with his powerful style of play, success and Ryder Cup exploits, but he also has an infectious personality.

He is a three-time winner on the formerly-named European Tour, the first of which came at the Volvo China Open in 2011.

NCG caught up with the Belgian to run through a set of quickfire questions, which yielded some fantastic answers.

Best friend on tour:

Marcel Siem  

Funniest person on tour:

The caddies, no question

Worst shot you’ve seen on tour:

Some kid from Belgium tried to play an impossible shot next to a tree in the final round of the Scandinavian Masters back in 2007…ended up taking an eight and lost his Tour card a few months later…guess who?

Nicolas Colsaerts Golf Q&A

Which question are you asked the most?

Why do you keep on smoking?

And the answer:

It’s my only vice left

Which famous person do you most look like?

I got DJ David Guetta quite a bit when I had longer hair

You’re leading going into the final round of a Major. Who do you want to play with?

Tiger

The best tip to deal with nerves?

Ask this sort of thing to a Ryder Cup player, I reckon they will know the answer a lot better than I do

A DVD, CD and book for a Desert Island 

The Big Lebowski, the Allen Carr book To Stop Smoking and a Deep House CD I made myself 

Your favourite food 

Italian, nothing comes close to proper Italian food

Last time you cried 

About six months ago, I went to the funeral of the father of someone I know very well after a couple of tense weekends on tour and just absolutely let it all out…it had been years

One course for the rest of your life 

Valderrama

Most expensive purchase 

A house where my parents still live

Best tip to deal with nerves 

Ask this sort of thing to a Ryder Cup player, I reckon they will know the answer a lot better than I do
