Despite a frustrating week, Torrance managed to score a scorching second-round score of 62, earning him a Rolex watch for the lowest score of the week. However, the moment was somewhat marred when he collected his award with a “saturated crotch”, much to the amusement of those present.
Torrance, 70, has opened up about the hilarious moment his pal David Feherty ruined his special moment with actress and model Isabella Rossellini, who was once voted the most beautiful woman in the world. He recalled: “I look up at him and he’s just got this huge grin on his face and he brings from behind his back a pint of water and he throws it all over my crotch.
And I’ve looked up and he’s gone. Like a rat in a sinking ship running away, laughing like a bloody hyena.”
Torrance was left red-faced as he was drenched just moments before being presented with an award by Rossellini. “And I’m looking down at my trousers, and it’s ridiculous.
My whole crotch is just saturated. “And within 30 seconds, the announcement: ‘and the low round of the week, Sam Torrance.
Despite the awkward situation, Torrance managed to see the funny side and Rossellini was understanding. “I got there and I told the beautiful lady immediately what my best friend had just done to me, and she had a wee giggle.
So I kind of got away with it with her, but he didn’t get away with it with me.” Almost four decades later, Torrance’s payback on Feherty is still pending.
However, he promises to get even, jestingly claiming: “I still haven’t had revenge yet, but I will come up with something before we pass.”
