Let’s be honest. Being a Welsh actor living in Los Angeles does have its compensations. But I still miss Wales. You forget how green it is.

No wonder Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller fell in love with Newquay when we filmed “The Edge of Love” there. The locals were pretty keen on them, too.

Thanks to the Ryder Cup, my American friends know a lot more about Wales. I tell them: bring your cameras, take pictures of our beautiful vistas. And take plenty of pictures of the Ryder Cup. Because it won’t be going home with you.

My name is Matthew Rhys. And this is My First Ryder Cup.
