RYDER CUP? FRENCH DON’T CARE

FRENCH golfer Mike Lorenzo-Vera has made the extraordinary claim that almost no one in his homeland cares the Ryder Cup is being held there this year. Speaking in an interview with The New York

Times, the 33-year-old said: ‘People don’t care about the Ryder Cup. Honestly, no one knows there’s going to be a Ryder Cup in France. Only the golfers know. ‘There won’t be many French there. There will be so many more from England or Spain. Golf is a very private thing for people in France. Private courses for only rich families or rich people, that it’s.’ Lorenzo-Vera, who yesterday shot a six-over 77 in the opening round of the French Open at Le Golf National, which will host the event in September, added: ‘If you say to people in France that you play golf, they will say: “No but really, what’s your real job?”’
