Was in the form of his life in 2012, winning his first WGC title in the WGC-Cadillac Championship and taking second place in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai thanks to a course record ten under par 62 in the final round. Took second place in The Race to Dubai, his highest finish since he won the Order of Merit in 2007, and reached a career-best fourth in the Official World Golf Ranking in November. Recorded his best finish in a Major when he took a share of third place at the US PGA Championship. Also won the eight-man Turkish Airlines World Golf Final in October, beating Tiger Woods in the semi-final and Lee Westwood in the final. Arguably his finest moment of the year, however, came at The Ryder Cup, where he secured a vital point against Phil Mickelson in the Sunday Singles as Europe produced a magical comeback. Nervelessly holed an eight-foot putt on the 16th to halve the hole, then sunk a snaking 35-footer to win the 17th en route to a memorable victory. Also defeated Mickelson in the Singles in 2008 on his Ryder Cup debut at Valhalla, and played in the foursomes and fourballs alongside good friend Ian Poulter, with whom he also teamed up for the 2011 Mission Hills World Cup, finishing runners-up. Recorded a sensational victory in the 2007 Volvo Masters at Valderrama, beating Simon Dyson and Søren Kjeldsen in a play-off, to help him finish Number One on the Order of Merit and win the coveted Harry Vardon Trophy. Moved to England from South Africa at the age of five, when he started to play seriously at Hartley Wintney GC near his Hampshire home. First broke 70 aged 11 was off plus three at 14. Played in the 1997 Walker Cup at only 17 years and ten days. Tied for fourth to win the Silver Medal as the leading amateur in The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in 1998 and turned professional the next day.More
