and Sergio García at the 2009 Telus World Skins Game in Lévis, Canada]] Geoff Charles Ogilvy (born 11 June 1977) is an Australian professional golfer best known for winning the 2006 U.S. Open and three World Golf Championships.

Professional career

Ogilvy was born in Adelaide, South Australia to an English-born father Mike and Australian born mother Judy. He turned professional in May 1998 and he won a European Tour card at that year's Qualifying school. He played on the European Tour in 1999 and 2000, finishing 65th in his first season and improving to 48th in his second. He joined the U.S. based PGA Tour in 2001, and finished in the top 100 in each of his first five seasons. His first professional tournament win came in 2005 at the PGA Tour's Chrysler Classic of Tucson. In February 2006 he beat Davis Love III in the final of the 2006 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.

Ogilvy won his first major championship at the 2006 U.S. Open, becoming the first Australian to win a men's golf major since Steve Elkington at the 1995 PGA Championship. Ogilvy finished his round with a champion's flourish, making improbable pars on each of the last two holes. He holed a 30-foot chip shot at the 17th, and then got up-and-down for par at the 18th, dropping a downhill six-footer for his final stroke as all his competitors collapsed around him. Phil Mickelson and Colin Montgomerie needed pars on the final hole to win, or bogeys to tie with Ogilvy, but they ruined their chances by producing double-bogey sixes to give Ogilvy a dramatic win. Jim Furyk needed par to force a playoff but bogeyed the final hole.

This success moved Ogilvy into the top ten of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time, at Number 8. He reached his highest placing to date on 9 July 2006 when he was ranked Number 7, and he returned to that rank in February 2007 after finishing as runner-up to Henrik Stenson whilst defending his title at the 2007 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. He has spent over 120 weeks in the top-10 of the rankings.

Ogilvy won the 2008 WGC-CA Championship, his second World Golf Championship title, by one shot shooting 17-under par. It was his first PGA Tour win since the 2006 U.S. Open. In his next start at the 2008 Shell Houston Open he finished tied for 2nd moving him up to number 5 in the Official World Golf Rankings. In late June 2008, he rose to 3rd in the rankings. In 2009 Ogilvy continued his success at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship defeating Paul Casey. Ogilvy moved into second alone in World Golf Championship wins. This win brought him up to 4th in the Official World Golf Rankings.

In January 2010, Ogilvy won the SBS Championship, the opening event of the 2010 PGA Tour.

Personal

Ogilvy claims to be a distant relative of the Royal Family member Angus Ogilvy, and even more distantly related to Robert The Bruce on his fathers side. Ogilvy's father was born in Cambridgeshire, England, and emigrated to Australia with his family as a young boy, however his family had originally migrated from Scotland to England.

Ogilvy is married to Juli and they have a daughter Pheobe Elizabeth and son Jasper Michael. He now resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, in the United States.

Ogilvy is a partner in Exotic Pebbles & Aggregates based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Ogilvy is a founding partner of MOJO Pies, "The Original Australian Pie" based in Scottsdale and is a proud supporter of the St Kilda Football Club.

Steven Stricker (born February 23, 1967) is an American professional golfer and has ranked as high as No. 2 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Stricker won again in 2009 at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois. After a rained-out second round on Friday, the field was forced to play 36 holes on Sunday. Stricker shot an afternoon round of 64, which included a holed wedge shot for eagle on the 6th hole. He went on to win the event by three strokes over Zach Johnson, Brandt Snedeker and Brett Quigley. He also matched his career low round on tour with a second round of 61 (-10).

Stricker's third win of 2009 came in September at the Deutsche Bank Championship, the second of four playoff events. He began the final round tied with Retief Goosen and Sean O'Hair, and birdied the final hole to win the event by one stroke over Jason Dufner and Scott Verplank. It was Stricker's second FedEx Cup playoff win, a win that also vaulted him ahead of Tiger Woods to the top of the FedEx Cup standings and vaulted him to second in the Official World Golf Rankings. Stricker has been called "Mr. September" due to his success in the FedEx Cup playoffs, where he has never finished below the top-25 in any of his ten career starts.

In February 2010, Stricker won the 2010 Northern Trust Open after firing a 70, which was enough for a 16-under-par 268 winning total as he deposed Phil Mickelson as the world number two.

In July 2010, Stricker shot a career-low 60 in the first round of the John Deere Classic at TPC at Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. He followed with rounds of 66 and 62, for a total of 188, to set the PGA Tour 54-hole record. He would shoot 70 on Sunday to win by two strokes over Paul Goydos for his 9th PGA Tour win.

Stricker has spent 140 weeks in the top-10 of the rankings since 2007.

Robert Allenby (born 12 July 1971) is an Australian professional golfer.

Allenby was born in Melbourne, Australia. His father was from Leeds, England and emigrated to Australia as a young man. He turned professional in 1992 and was soon successful, topping the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit in his first season and again in 1994. He continues to play some events on his home tour and has won 13 events on it, including one as an amateur. He also began to play on the European Tour and it was his principal tour until 1998. He won four tournaments on it, including three in 1996, when he finished third on the Order of Merit. He has featured in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

Allenby now plays primarily in the U.S. on the PGA Tour. He earned exempt status for 1999 by finishing 17th at the 1998 Qualifying School. He had a disappointing first season in America, coming 126th on the money list, but came good in 2000 when he won the Shell Houston Open and the Advil Western Open. He claimed another pair of wins the following season. In both of those years he came 16th on the money list. He has not won since but finished in the top 50 each year from 2002-2004. His performances in the major championships have been somewhat disappointing; his highest placing in a major is tied seventh at the 2004 U.S. Open.

In 2005 he became the first golfer to win the "triple crown" of the Australian Masters, Australian PGA and Australian Open in the same year.

Allenby played for the International Team in the Presidents Cup in 1994, 1996, 2000, 2003 and 2009.

After posting a 2-2-1 record in the 2009 Presidents Cup, Allenby accused Anthony Kim of being ill-prepared for his Sunday singles match, in which Allenby lost 5 and 3.

In December 2009, Allenby became the first Australian to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa, by defeating Henrik Stenson in a playoff. It was his first professional win in four years, but he did not have to wait long for the next as he returned home to claim his fourth Australian PGA Championship title the following week.

Allenby is a patron and spokesperson for Challenge Cancer Support Network, which has raised more than $9 million since 1993 for children with cancer and blood disorders. He resides in Jupiter, Florida.

Henrik Stenson (born 5 April 1976) is a Swedish professional golfer who plays both on the US and European tours. He has spent over 100 weeks ranked in the World top ten and his career high ranking of fourth is the best by any Swedish golfer.

Career

Stenson was born in Gothenburg. He turned professional in 1999 and the following year topped the money rankings on the second tier golf tour in Europe, the Challenge Tour. He joined the main European Tour in 2001 and has won six European Tour events. From 2005 to 2008 he finished each year in the top 10 of the European Order of Merit.

Stenson reached the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings in 2006 and the top 10 in 2007. In February 2007, he reached number eight in the rankings following his victory at the Dubai Desert Classic and became the highest ranked European golfer for the first time.

The following week, Stenson then became the first Swede to win one of the World Golf Championships when beating Geoff Ogilvy 2&1 in the final of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. This victory took Stenson to the top of the European Order of Merit and also to a high of 5th in the world rankings, which is also the highest a Swedish player has ever been ranked, surpassing Jesper Parnevik's previous record of reaching seventh place in May 2000. In all, he spent over 90 weeks in the top 10 of the rankings since 2007.

These two victories put Stenson in the lead of the 2007 European Tour Order of Merit, but he failed to add to his success over the rest of the season and finished in fourth place.

Stenson made his Ryder Cup debut in 2006, and after getting a half point in the foursomes against Stewart Cink and David Toms on the Friday, he had the honour of holing the winning putt and ensuring Europe won the Ryder Cup for a third consecutive time when beating Vaughn Taylor 4 & 3 in the Sunday singles. He played again in 2008 at Valhalla, tallying a win, a loss and a draw in the foursomes. However he was not as fortunate as two years before, losing the singles on Sunday 3 & 2 to an inspired Kenny Perry.

Stenson married fellow Swede Emma Löfgren in Dubai ten years after meeting her on a golf course in Sweden. On 2 July 2007, his wife gave birth to the couple's daughter, Lisa.

His name was famously mispronounced during the Friday foursomes during the 2008 Ryder Cup. The announcer stuttered, calling him Henrik Stevenson and then Henrik Stevens. He corrected his mistake later on.

In March 2009 Stenson created a storm in the media after stripping to his underwear and golf glove in order to play a recovery shot from a muddy water hazard at the first round of the WGC-CA Championship.

On 10 May 2009, Stenson won The Players Championship with a dominating final round score of 66 to finish four ahead of Ian Poulter. The win was his first American stroke play victory. This win again brought him to fifth in the Official World Golf Rankings. The following week he moved up to fourth without playing.

Brandt Snedeker (born December 8, 1980) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

Snedeker was born in Nashville, Tennessee. He attended Montgomery Bell Academy and then Vanderbilt University, where he was a member of the Chi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order. He won the U.S. Amateur Public Links in 2003 before turning professional. Snedeker currently works with Todd Anderson of the Sea Island Golf Club.

Professional career

2004-2006: On the Nationwide Tour

Snedeker played on the Nationwide Tour from 2004 until 2006, when he finished 9th on the tour money list after victories at the Showdown at Somerby and the Permian Basin Charity Golf Classic, thus earning a PGA Tour spot for 2007. While on the Nationwide Tour, Snedeker recorded two wins, two runner ups, 12 tops 10s and earned $549,564.

2007: PGA Tour Rookie of the Year

Snedeker garnered immediate attention in January 2007 after shooting a course record equaling 61 in the first round of the Buick Invitational. He led the tournament by three strokes after 36 holes but due to a 74 in the third round he finished in third place. He made eight consecutive cuts starting at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in January and ending at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March. In that span he recorded three top 25 finishes. Snedeker did not play as well as he hoped in the month of April. In four tournaments in April, he made two cuts including a finish of T16 at the Verizon Heritage. From May to early June Snedeker made the cut in two of the four tournaments he entered. This included an impressive T12 finish at the prestigious PLAYERS Championship. Snedeker would then go on a hot streak starting at the Stanford St. Jude Championship on June 10. He finished in a tie for fifth at that tournament and by doing so surpassed $1 million in earnings on tour in 2007. He finished in a tie for 23rd at the U.S. Open the following week. He recorded two top ten finishes in early July including a tie for 10th at the Buick Open. This finish put Snedeker into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time. Later in July he finished in a tie for 7th at the Canadian Open. Two weeks after the Canadian, Snedeker played in the PGA Championship for the first time. Snedeker finished in an impressive tie for 18th place. Snedeker picked up his first PGA Tour victory the next week at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina. This win propelled him to a world ranking of 55th. The Wyndham Championship was the last regular season event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Snedeker entered the playoffs in 9th place in the point standings. He played in all four playoff events. He recorded finishes of missed cut, T47, T14 and T29. Snedeker finished in 20th place in the final points standings and that earned him a bonus check of $225,000. Due to his great performance on tour he was named the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year for 2007.

Snedeker entered 29 PGA Tour events in 2007. He made 23 cuts including one win, a third place finish, six top ten finishes and thirteen top 25 finishes. He earned $2,836,643 which put him in 17th on the final money list and he finished 2007 ranked 47th in the world rankings.

Following his third place finish at the 2008 Masters Tournament, Snedeker reached a new high of 32nd in the world rankings.

His brother, Haymes Snedeker, won Big Break X Michigan, and earned a shot at Q school and the PGA Tour.

2008

Snedeker began the year with a tied for 10th finish at the Mercedes-Benz Championship. He finished tied for 9th at the FBR Open in February and tied for 8th at the PODS Championship in March. Snedeker recorded his first top ten in a major at the 2008 Masters Tournament where he finished tied for third. He went into the final round in second place, two strokes behind eventual winner Trevor Immelman but Snedeker shot a final round 77. Snedeker finished in the top 10 for the second time in a major at the 2009 U.S. Open where he finished tied for 9th. Snedeker made 19 of 26 cuts on the year and recorded five top 10s, 7 top 25s and earned $1,531,442 while finishing 34th in the FedEx Cup standings.

2009

Snedeker struggled in 2009, making only 14 of 26 cuts. His play improved in the summer as he had had two consecutive top-5 finishes, a tie for 5th place at the AT&T; National, and a tie for 2nd place at the John Deere Classic. One factor contributing to Snedeker's uneven play in 2009 was his health. He missed seven consecutive tournaments in the middle of the season due to a rib injury. Snedeker finished the season 55th on the money list.

2010

Snedeker had an average season. He was runner-up at the Farmers Insurance Open, and finished 48th on the money list.
