Profile
Achieved
his life long ambition when he qualified in
tenth place for The 34th Ryder Cup Matches and
made a phenomenal debut at The De Vere Belfry
by beating World Number Two Phil Mickelson in
the singles to secure an invaluable point. Secured
his place in the team in 2001, winning the Algarve
Open de Portugal for a second time to help underline
his credentials. Created a big impact in 2000,
finishing runner-up on four occasions, most
notably in the WGC-NEC Invitational when he
tied second behind Tiger Woods to collect the
biggest cheque of his career. Credits his stronger
mental approach to his ten year association
with psychologist, Alan Fine, who now lives
in America and flew to Akron to lend his assistance
during the WGC-NEC International event. Leading
amateur for Wales, won Portuguese Open in 1994
and named ‘Pontypridd Man of the Year’. Partnered
Ian Woosnam to second place in the 1991 World
Cup.
