USPGA PROFILE

The genial Englishman learned his golf at college in America and his straight hitting and pinpoint iron-play suggest his game is ideally set up for the PGA. That was certainly the case at Medinah last year when three splendid rounds saw him join Tiger Woods in the final pairing on Sunday. However, he could not maintain his form and a closing 74 saw him finish six strokes back of the eventual winner in a tie for third. Still looking for his major breakthrough and, after another disappointing showing at the Open Championship recently, it does seem more likely that if it does come, it will be on American soil. Tied for 10th at Augusta earlier this year although was never really in the shake-up for victory. He then went on to miss the cut at Oakmont, while his form on the PGA Tour has been solid rather than spectacular with a couple of second places to his credit. If his putter runs hot this week he could well be in contention again, but questions still remain whether he has the temperament to close out a big one.
