Was in the form of his life in 2011, when he created history by becoming the first player to win both the European and American money lists, and reached World Number One for the first time in his career. Needed to win the last event on the US PGA Tour schedule to top the rankings, and duly delivered. Was pushed all the way in The Race to Dubai, too – by Rory McIlroy – but finished third in the season-ending Dubai World Championship presented by DP World to secure the Harry Vardon Trophy. Clinched the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February by defeating Martin Kaymer in the final, then saw off Lee Westwood in a play-off for the BMW PGA Championship title. That win elevated him to the pinnacle of the World Ranking, and he stayed there until the end of the season, reinforcing his position with victory in the Barclays Scottish Open. His joy at his achievements of 2011 was tempered by the sudden death of his father in November, the same week his second daughter was born. Has a tremendous record in team golf. Was one of Colin Montgomerie’s wild card picks for The 2010 Ryder Cup and vindicated the decision by contributing three points from four, including a memorable 6&5 victory with Lee Westwood over Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods in the session three foursomes. Had a 100% record at The K Club in 2006 and won twice at Oakland Hills in 2004. Took England to World Cup glory with Paul Casey in 2004, and also enjoyed a fine amateur career, starring in Great Britain and Ireland’s Walker Cup victories over the United States in 1999 and 2001. Earned a degree in art theory and practice at Northwestern College in the United States. Donated one of his paintings to a pgatour.com auction and the winning bid of $1,640 was split between US PGA Tour Charities and junior golf charity in Chicago.
