Eight months after the drama of The Ryder Cup unfolded on its fairways, The Celtic Manor Resort is again the focus of golfing attention this week as it plays host to the Saab Wales Open.
But before the action gets underway for real on the Twenty Ten Course on Thursday, two of the men central to the success of The 2010 Ryder Cup – Celtic Manor owner Sir Terry Matthews and Carwyn Jones, the First Minister for Wales – were honoured by The European Tour.
Chief Executive George O’Grady chose the sumptuous Gala Dinner in The Celtic Manor Resort ballroom to present both men with replicas of The Ryder Cup trophy in recognition of their respective efforts.
