Andrew Stewart North (born March 9, 1950) is an American professional golfer who is best known for winning the U.S. Open twice.
North was born in Thorp, Wisconsin, and raised in Monona, Wisconsin. He attended Monona Grove High School, and graduated in 1968.
North received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Buster Bishop's Florida Gators men's golf team from 1969 to 1972. He was a three-time first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection, and an All-American in 1970, 1971 and 1972. North graduated from Florida with a bachelor's degree in business administration in 1972, and was later inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as "Gator Great."
North turned professional in 1972. He had a moderately successful career on the PGA Tour made remarkable by the fact that two of his three wins on the Tour were in the U.S. Open. The first PGA Tour win of North's career came at the 1977 American Express Westchester Classic. He was 28 years old when he won the 1978 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. He moved into the lead after the second round, and was one shot ahead going into Sunday, but an erratic final round left him needing to make a five on the last hole to take the championship. He struggled up the eighteenth, finding the rough twice and then landing in a greenside bunker, but he nailed a four foot putt to win by one stroke over J. C. Snead and Dave Stockton.

Plot: For Mark, average days consist of more time preparing to tackle life than actually tackling life. Mark suffers from OCD, a condition that has plagued all his adult life and essentially ruined any and all plans for love Mark could ever dream of. That's until Lisa, his co-worker, mistakes his awkward habits for quirkiness and decides to take a chance dating him. It turns out that Lisa happens to have her little 'quirks' too that may or may not add to or destroy their up-and-down relationship. In Mark's crusade to better himself he may in fact be just what his peers needed to save themselves before it's to late.
