text size

Feb. 7, 2008

How much do you know about the PGA TOUR players and their hometowns? Use the following five clues to figure out which player, and his hometown (or birthplace, if you're really good), is this week's subject. No cheating!

1	This player's birthplace is neither his hometown nor in the country of his nationality.
2	This player grew up in the same region of the country as some pretty big Hollywood stars; Elizabeth Hurley and Kate (also his wife's name) Winslet -- to name two. (That should help you out on the country.)
3	This player is the only player in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking with no TOUR wins. He has also never won a major, although he once came pretty close at the British Open when he was an amateur.
4	This player might be an excellent golfer, but the name of his hometown is a boxing term.
5	This player's father, who passed away from leukemia in 2002, introduced him to golf with a plastic club at just 11 months old, but he began playing real golf at his hometown course, Hartley Wintney Golf Club, just a few years later.
