The Welsh golfer won the Masters in 1991 and played in eight Ryder Cups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Woosnam, who has called Jersey his home for decades, also captained Europe to victory in the 2006 Ryder Cup at the K Club, in what was at the time a record 18.5 to 9.5 margin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It would have been very difficult for Adam to play with wooden clubs,&#8221; says Woosnam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;But the way these clubs can be made now lighter and it gives Adam the chance to play a round the golf with his disability, it&#8217;s incredible what he can do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And what advice would Woosnam, who won four Ryder Cups outright as a player, and helped Europe tie with the United States in a fifth in 1989, give to Dalton ahead of the Cairns Cup?<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;All I can say is just to enjoy the moment because it&#8217;s something to remember,&#8221; Woosnam added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;When we had younger players coming into the team it was to understand that it is a team event, and a lot of times you&#8217;ve got a partner and be patient and don&#8217;t be afraid to ask for advice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;If you lose your match, it doesn&#8217;t matter if someone else can win, you only need to win by one point and that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One such person is Woosnam.
