The trophy everyone wants to get their hands on is obviously theClaret Jug, but many more awards are given out during Open week.

Legendary coach Bob Torrance picked up the Association of GolfWriters Award for Outstanding Services to golf.

One of his most famous pupils, Ireland's Padraig Harrington,presented Torrance with the award at Tuesday night's dinner, and paidtribute to the 75-year-old's undiminished enthusiasm for the gameafter 60 years.

"At Wentworth recently Bob came up to me and said 'I've justbroken the record, 15 and a half hours,"' said Harrington, who hasbeen coached by Torrance for 11 years.

"I didn't know what he meant until he explained he'd been workingon the driving range for 15 and a half hours, from 5.30 in themorning until 9pm at night - and that was only because he was kickedoff at 9!"
