Greg Owen - Media Guide

at Pebble Beach. Finish was second top-10 in three starts at the PGA TOUR's event on the Monterey Penisula. Finished among the top 75 (No. 69) on the PGA TOUR money list for a second straight season. Was a career-best second at the Bay Hill Invitational, one stroke behind Rod Pampling, in his eighth start of the season. Tied at 14-under after Pampling double bogeyed the par-4 13th hole, he birdied Nos. 14 and 16 to take a one-stroke lead into the par-3 17th hole. Although Pampling bogeyed the hole, Owen missed two putts from within 3 1/2 feet to double bogey. The pair headed for the 18th hole tied for the lead. Owen's second shot on No. 18 found the back bunker and he wedged to 13 feet. Pampling two-putted for par, and when Owen's par putt lipped out he fell one shot short. Recorded career-low 65 on TOUR during second round of the Shell Houston Open. The 7-under 65 set the course record at Redstone GC's Tournament Course. The PGA TOUR rookie retained his card after finishing 57th on the money list, with more than $1.3 million in earnings. In his third start of the season and 10th of his TOUR career, posted his first top-10 with a solo third at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. A T7 at the Wachovia Championship pushed him over the $1-million mark in just his 12th event of the season. First rookie to earn more than $1 million during the season. Playing in his first PGA TOUR National Qualifying Tournament in 2004, made it through all three stages to finish T4 and earn his initial TOUR card. The 2005 TOUR rookie has played the European Tour since 1996, where he finished in the top 40 on the Volvo Order of Merit from 2000-03. Finished 94th on the Volvo Order of Merit in 2004 with three top-10s, including a season-best seventh at the Qatar Masters. In 2003, posted his best finish in Europe at No. 21 on the Order of Merit. Picked up his first career victory on that tour with a win at the British Masters. Best finish in a major came at the 2001 British Open, where he finished T23 and posted a double eagle on the 11th hole in the third round. Won the 1996 Gosen Challenge on the European Challenge Tour.
