Remesy in Ryder Cup equation

There is a real chance of 40-year-old Jean-Francois Remesy making Europe’s Ryder Cup team after he today became the first home winner of the French Open for 35 years.

Six years on from being close to giving up the sport following a 12th consecutive visit to the qualifying school, Remesy leapt from 24th in the cup race to seventh with a massive seven-stroke victory – the biggest of the season so far – at Le Golf National near Paris.
