Ryder Cup winners enjoy their drive in a 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet

Bad Griesbach. For the golf professionals, the fascination of the Porsche European Open lies not only in the action around the course.

Hardly any of them forego the chance to test drive a Porsche to round off the day after completing 18 demanding holes. The passion bonds men - like Graeme McDowell (Northern Ireland) and Peter Hanson (Sweden).

The two live in USA and are neighbours. They were also teammates on the 2010 and 2012 Ryder Cup teams that beat USA. Both are Porsche fans and Hansen races cars every now and again. In Bad Griesbach, the duo went on a tour in a 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet*. That the two of them really enjoyed themselves can be clearly seen in the following video. "Great roads, great cars - a fantastic experience," raved Graeme McDowell.
