Hoey couldn’t sleep from Ryder Cup tension

It was not only Europe’s Ryder Cup heroes who went short of sleep on Sunday night – so did Michael Hoey, who today began his defence of the Dunhill Links title at Carnoustie.

“I couldn’t sleep because the adrenaline was going at 1.30 in the morning,” said the Irishman, glued to his television like millions of others.
