THE OPEN PROFILE
Toms took his place among the golfing elite by winning the USPGA Championship at Atlanta Country Club in 2001. To followers of the man from Louisiana it didn't come as a shock. The 36-year-old has been one of the most improved players in the game over the last few years, notching up nine US Tour wins. The most recent was at the FedEx St Jude Classic. Toms can be a little hard to predict - he follows seemingly good form with a missed cut or emerges from a lean spell with a win. He headed the field here after day one 12 months ago but eventually finished stone-cold last following three torrid rounds and has yet to give any indication he handles conditions when the weather turns nasty. His mild-mannered personality disguises an extremely tenacious competitor who is tough to shake off or pass when he has his sights on the top prize.
