INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE: It's a wild morning on the outskirts of Royal Porthcawl. The lovely chap who was once known as the Welsh Bulldog is looking out from the pavilion at the younger men of the Senior Open as a realization dawns on him. 'You're here to make me feel old, aren't you?' It's the same glint he sees in his eye now as well, according to Brian Hugh. He is partially correct, because we are here to discuss the Ryder Cup, and he has many lines of distinction when it comes to one of sport's most coveted activities. He is Europe's longest serving captain at 86, not least because he is Europe's longest living captain. 'I've never been told, but I assumed I must be,' he says. 'Well, you've done it - now I do feel old!' Hugh is a cracking fella, a gle, and an albatross wrapped in a hole in a single. He hasn't played at a ball in a decade because it's difficult to believe a team, but he could still beat it up in his seventies if he could have swung it around in a swan's.
