US OPEN PROFILE
Weir was unhappy with his season in 2002 but he can do little wrong this year. He won twice in February and then made the big breakthrough by claiming his first Major, the Masters at Augusta in April. His play-off defeat of Len Mattiace was far from unexpected as he had been on the brink of taking that step into the Major league for some time. He took a few weeks off afterwards but the magic touch has not deserted him and good finishes at the Wachovia and Memorial should have fine tuned his game as he bids to keep his Grand Slam hopes alive. The Canadian is an uncomplicated player who finds a way to get the job done. He putts beautifully and his wins at the Masters and Riviera in extra time suggest he has plenty of bottle when the chips are down. Not the most flamboyant, Weir makes few mental errors and he invariably is ready to pounce if others slip up.
