An moved to the United States in December 2005 to attend the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Bradenton, Florida, where he was also known as Ben An. In August 2009, at age 17, An became the youngest-ever winner of the U.S. Amateur when he defeated Ben Martin, 7 & 5, in the 36-hole final at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, surpassing the previous year’s champion Danny Lee. He made his PGA Tour debut in March 2010 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a week before playing in the Masters. An made the cut at the 2010 RBC Heritage and was one shot off the lead during the second round before finishing the tournament T-59th. At the 2010 U.S. Amateur at Chambers Bay, An became the first defending cham- pion to advance to the semifinals since Tiger Woods in 1996. After An took a 3-up lead after nine holes, his opponent, David Chung, rallied to win, 1-up. Also played in the 2011 U.S. Amateur at Erin Hills, but withdrew after the first round of stroke play. When An turned professional in 2011, he followed a piece of ad- vice from Wally Uihlein, Titleist’s Chief Executive, to play in Europe and earned a spot on the Challenge Tour via qualifying school. 2012 Notes: Played on the Challenge Tour, and through 18 events, finished in the money 11 times with two top-10s.

  • Ron Arnst's HMG Course Collection Summaries
    HISTORY MAKER GOLF Championship Golf Game • Course Summaries Course Collection ONE Blackjack GC, Las Vegas NV / based on TPC SUMMERLIN TPC Summerlin’s layout, carved from a magnificent swath of rugged desert terrain by renowned golf course architect Bobby Weed, provides a good reference for the Blackjack GC. TPC Summerlin’s lush bentgrass greens, numerous water features and an abundance of pine trees all contrast dramatically with undisturbed desert washes. The course features four closing holes that deliver top flight golf drama. The final charge begins with the par 4, 15th hole – a drivable par 4 that will temp most players. If the tee shot misses the green, an “up and down” birdie is possible, but not easy, due to the severely elevated and undulated green – which is surrounded by five bunkers that regularly attract stray tee shots. The 16th hole is a relatively downhill par-5 that is reachable with two good shots. The green is guarded by water short of the green, and bunkers beyond. Only a mid-iron will be necessary for the second shot, with a birdie almost a certainty. A challenging and un-nerving par-3, the 17th hole plays downhill with the green guarded closely by a lake on the left and by bunkers on the right. Par is good score and birdies are rare, should players need to make up ground. The 18th is a well-designed and strategic finishing hole which moves right to left off the tee. The green is protected on the left by a lake. An aggressive tee shot with the driver can leave the player just a short iron to a very deep green from front to back.

Wanna Phone: (615) 591-4544 Facsimile: (615) 595-0563 Email: [email protected] Crown Vic Making Golf History to Sell at America’s Auto Auction, Chicago A 2005 Crown Victoria with an unusual place in golf history will cross the auction block later this month at America’s Auto Auction, Chicago. An unmarked police vehicle being retired by the Village of Lombard, Illinois, the car figured prominently in the final day of competition during the 2012 Ryder Cup at nearby Medinah Country Club, when deputy police chief Pat Rollins whisked European golfer Rory McIlroy to the golf course with just minutes to spare before his tee-time. McIlroy’s 20-minute ride in the Crown Vic made the difference between Team Europe’s win and loss. The 2012 Ryder Cup, held in September, was one for the record books as the best comeback cup in the event’s 85-year history. The Europeans were down 10-6 going into the final day of play, and the US team required only 4-1/2 points to take the championship. By the end of the tournament, Europe had scored 14-1/2 points to the US team’s 13-1/2 points to win, a slim margin of victory that would have vanished but for McIlroy’s trip to the golf course, courtesy of the Lombard police department and the Crown Vic. A two-time major champion and the #1-ranked player in the world, McIlroy thought his tee-time was at 12:25 on the last day of the competition.

  • Sporting Legends: Seve Ballesteros
    SPORTING LEGENDS: SEVE BALLESTEROS SPORT: GOLF COMPETITIVE ERA: 1974 - 2008 Severiano "Seve" Ballesteros (born 9 April 1957 in Pedreña, Spain) is a Spanish golfer who was one of the sport's leading figures in the 1980s and 1990s. Ballesteros turned professional in March 1974 at the age of 16. In 1976, he burst onto the international scene with a second-place finish in The Open Championship; he went on to win the European Tour Order of Merit (money title) that year, and repeated his Order of Merit win the following two years. He would go on to win the Order of Merit six times, a record at that time (since surpassed by Colin Montgomerie). Ballesteros went on to win five major championships: The Masters: 1980, 1983 His 1980 win was the first at Augusta by a European player. The Open Championship: 1979, 1984, 1988. He was also a great at match play; he won the World Match Play Championship five times, and was a mainstay of the European Ryder Cup team for much of the 1980s and 1990s. He scored 20 points out of 37 matches against the United States; his partnership with José María Olazábal was one of the most successful in the history of the competition, with 11 wins and two halved matches out of 15 pairs matches. While Ballesteros was a member of European sides that won the Ryder Cup in 1985, retained the Cup in 1987 and 1989, and regained the Cup in 1995, the pinnacle of his career in the competition came in 1997, when he captained the winning European side at Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande, Spain.
