Player Notes: ELIGIBILITY CODE: 15 The 2003 U.S. Open Champion possesses one of the most distinc- tive and recognizable swings on the PGA Tour, a swing he de- scribes as natural and athletic. His only teacher has been his father, Mike, who started Jim putting cross-handed at age 7 on the advice of Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. He was a member of the 1997, ‘99, 2002, ‘04, ‘06, ‘08, ‘10, ‘12 and ‘14 U.S. Ryder Cup Teams and in 2018 will be the United States captain when the matches are played in Paris, France.

He set a PGA Tour record for most money earned without a victory with $1.6 million in 1997, and reclaimed the title with $3,946,515 in earnings with- out a win in 2009. That record was broken by Matt Kuchar, who earned $4,233,920 in 2011, then with $4,440,532 in 2013.

In that event, Herbert made it to the semifinals and lost to the eventual winner Kiradech Aphibarnrat on the first hole of a shootout. Herbert beat Sam Hors- field in the consolation round to finish third. His T-8th finish at the SMBC Singapore Open was important because it gave him a spot in the British Open next month at Carnoustie. For Herbert his first Open Championship at Carnoustie will be interesting considering that he played in the Amateur Championship held at the same course in 2015. He shot 75 at Panmure and 72 at Carnoustie to miss the cut. Herbert finished T-3rd at the Rocco Forte Sicilian Open just a shot back of getting into the playoff. Herbert has tried to qualify for the Web.Com Tour. Herbert would love getting to the big show in the United States but he is very open-minded about how he will get there after missing out on second-tier Web.com Tour qualifying once already. About getting to America on the PGA Tour: “There’s just more than one way to skin a cat,” he said to Jim Tucker of News.Com au. “So whether it happens to be through Asia, through Europe, through Japan, through Web.com Tour, there are so many different ways to do it.” 2018 U.S. OPEN PLAYERS' GUIDE — 79 CHARLEY HOFFMAN Birth Date: November 03, 1994 Charley Hoffman is 36 in this week’s Official World Golf Ranking Birthplace: Kirckaldy, Scotland Birth Date: December 27, 1976 Age: 23 Ht.: 5’10 Wt.: 175 Birthplace: San Diego, Calif.

Walker Cup Captain Colin Dalgleish described the win as “fairytale stuff,” adding, “You’d have to say that Shane’s victory was the biggest (of the three amateur wins). To win your own national Open is quite something. It was unbelievable, it really was.” The win was all the more remarkable because it was only the second home win since 1982 and the first since Padraig Harrington in 2007. Harrington himself was also full of praise: “It’s fabulous for Irish golf. You only have to look at the fact it is such a rarity for an amateur to win, such a rarity for an Irish player to win the Irish Open.” Lowry elected to turn professional the week after his Irish Open triumph, meaning he would miss the opportunity to play at the Walker Cup in September. He made his professional debut in May at the European Open, missing the cut. Also missed the cut in his next two starts, finally cashing his first check when he finished 50th at the Open de France ALSTOM. He had his best professional result in November 2009, when he finished 3rd at the Dunlop Phoe- nix Tournament in Japan. In January 2010, he finished 4th at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, moving him into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking. In June 2010, Lowry qualified for his first major championship, the 2010 Open Championship at St. Andrews. During qualification, he matched Nick Faldo’s course record at Sunningdale when he posted a 62. Lowry made the cut at St. Andrews and eventually finished T-37th. He won for the first time as a professional at the 2012 Portugal Masters, where he shot 67 to tie for the lead with Englishman Ross Fisher, who bogeyed the final hole, missing a four-foot putt. The victory elevated Lowry to 74th in the world, and he finished 29th in the Race to Dubai. 2018 U.S. OPEN PLAYERS' GUIDE — 117

Player Notes: ELIGIBILITY CODE: 13 Oosthuizen secured his place in golf’s history books with a victory at the 2010 Open Championship at St. Andrews. His seven-stroke win placed him alongside South Africans , Gary Player and Ernie Els as Open champions. It was his ninth appear- ance in a major championship and his success came only four months after his European Tour breakthrough, a victory at the Open de Andalucia de Golf. Born in the town of Mossel Bay, a small community about 34 miles east of Cape Town, Oosthuizen comes from a farming family. His father and brother were great tennis players, but he opted to play golf. He grew up alongside Charl Schwartzel and the two won the World Junior team champi- onship in 2000. At age 17 in 1999, Oosthuizen got a big break when he was given one of the first memberships in the Ernie Els and Fancourt Foundation. Its purpose was to identify talented young South African players and give them the resources to improve in golf and provide educational and life-skills assistance. At this stage of his life, things were very expensive and he doubted his father would have been able to absorb the expense if he was not a part of the foundation. Not only were the financial concerns eliminated, but Els attended some of the clinics and spent time with the boys, becoming a mentor for both. Oosthuizen turned professional in 2002 and played on the South African Tour, then joined the Euro- pean Tour in 2004. He won for the first time in South Africa at the 2004 Vodacom Origins of Golf Tour, then the 2007 Dimension Data and the Telkom PGA Championship. Oosthuizen didn’t make substantial progress on the European Tour until 2009 when he had runner-up finishes at Abu Dhabi and the Qatar Masters. He reached the winner’s circle in March 2010 when he captured the Open de Andalucia. That win, along with a runner-up finish the week before in , put him in the top-50 of the Official World Golf Rank- ing the closing week to reach the Masters. He was able to hold onto a spot in the top-50 to play at both the U.S. Open and British Open. Played in the 2013, ‘15 and ‘17 Presidents Cup matches. 2011 Notes: In his first full season on PGA Tour, made 10 of 15 cuts with two top-10 finishes. Ranked 148th in the FedExCup standings. 2018 U.S. OPEN PLAYERS' GUIDE — 140

The win at Royal Birkdale marked his seventh top-4 finish in 19 major cham- pionship starts, needing only a victory at the PGA Championship to complete the career grand slam. Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Spieth attended St. Monica Catholic School and Jesuit College Preparatory School, graduating in 2011. He played college golf for the Longhorns at the University of Texas. Spieth was an integral member of the 2011 U.S. Walker Cup team and played in three of the four rounds, halving his four- somes match and winning both singles matches. His first professional important moment came in April 2015 when he won the Masters by two shots over Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose. He led after all four rounds, becoming only the fifth cham- pion in Masters history to do so. Spieth joined Tiger Woods, Gene Sarazen, and Tom Creavy as players to win three PGA Tour events, with at least one major, before turning age 22 since 1900. Became the third different player (Woods and Sergio Garcia) since 1940 to win three times on the PGA Tour before reaching their 22nd birth- day. Also became the second-youngest winner of the Masters be- hind Woods (1997). Spieth was the first player to reach 19 under par at any point during any Masters round. Also became the first player to begin his Masters career with eight consecutive par or better rounds. Tied Woods (1997) for the best 72-hole score at the tournament (270, 18 under). Broke Raymond Floyd’s and Woods’ 54-hole scoring record with a 16-under 200. Shot a 130 to break Floyd’s (1976) Masters record for low first 36 holes by one shot.
