Feb. 29, 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, is this week's subject. No cheating!

1	This player's hometown is in a "royal" state a long way away from the PGA TOUR's home of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
2	This town is in an arid region of its country, which is quite funny since the player's nickname would make one think of water instead.
3	Though this golfer now lives in Florida, he returns to play tournaments once or twice a year in his home country, where he held that region's Order of Merit six times between 1978 and 1988.
4	This player shares a home state with another TOUR golfer who recently performed well at the World Golf Championships -- Accenture Match Play Championship, upsetting two players seeded higher than him, a 15 seed.
5	Despite being one of the finest golfers to hail from his home nation, this golfer has often been noted for his last-minute losses on TOUR, most famous probably being the dwindling of a six-shot lead at the 1996 Masters that led to a five-shot deficit behind that year's champion, England's Nick Faldo.
