Hasn't played on the PGA TOUR since 2002 due to two ruptured disks in his back. Joined GOLF CHANNEL as a full-time analyst in 2004, working primarily on Champions Tour broadcasts. Has participated in three Presidents Cups (1994, 1996, 1998) and was a Captain's Assistant to Greg Norman for the International Team in 2009 at Harding Park in San Francisco. Captured only PGA TOUR title in second season on TOUR at the 1997 Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic. Final-round 67 moved him into tie with Brad Faxon. Parred first playoff hole for win. Also in 1997, captured the Hong Kong Open and Mexican Open. Won 1996 Deutsche Bank Open on PGA European Tour and second consecutive Subaru Sarazen World Open, marking first successful defense of his career. Two-time New Zealand PGA Champion (1985-87). Has dealt with back problems relating to the fact his right leg is shorter than his left. Ancestors were Italian pirates who, after running out of things to pillage on the Adriatic, resettled in New Zealand in the early 1900s. Victim of a freak accident one week after marrying Selena Syer in Orlando in 1998. Errant tee shot at Lake Nona struck him above left eye, requiring 30 stitches. |
