Price deals with price of fame

PHILLIP PRICE would like nothing more than to win the Smurfit European Open at The K-Club this week.

It’s not just the massive prize money at stake but a desperation to move on from the renown that has come his way since beating Phil Mickelson in last September’s Ryder Cup.

“Yes, there has been more fame than before and far more than what I expected”, he says. “Overall, it’s been nice but there’s a downside as well. The video was shown all the time during the Wales Open. I kept seeing it in the clubhouse that week and to be honest, I’m sick of it!”
