Since both teams have been picked to dual for that piece of sterling
silver, can someone give me the background on Christy O'Connor,
Jr. and how he is related to that greatest of greats from Royal
Dublin, Christy O'Connor.
I have heard it is not as simple just to say "Of course, he must
be Christy the Elders son!".

He's been on the European tour for quite a long time, the last few
years (the only ones I remember) he's been fairly consistent (top 20?
at least). He narrowly missed selection for the last Cup (or was
it the one before) - I think he was one place outside the automatic
places, but not selected by Jacklin. He's had a tournament win this
year, which is one reason he's been picked above higher money winners
this time.
As has been said the other O'Connor is his uncle, but then I'd never
really heard of him until someone told me that Jnr was Snr's nephew!
(Snr is way before my time!)

Hi,
Senior is one of the great ball strickers of all time and would
have been another Roberto D' had he wished to travel and compete
worldwide.
I watched him in both Dublin and in various Scotland events. He
is a very strong senior golfer!
Wish he would have shared his talents with this side of the "pond"!
Also, thanks for the clarification as to the Jr./Sr. relationships.
