cracking year. |

Born in 1964, Davis Love III turned professional in his 21st year and it
wasn't long before he notched up his first of 18 PGA Tour victories by winning the 1987
MCI Heritage Golf Classic. His other Tour victories so far are: 1990; The
International, 1991; MCI Heritage Golf Classic, 1992; THE PLAYERS
Championship, MCI Heritage Golf Classic, KMart Greater Greensboro Open,
1993; Infiniti Tournament of Champions, Las Vegas Invitational, 1995;
Freeport-McMoRan Classic, 1996; Buick Invitational, 1997; PGA
Championship, Buick Challenge, 1998; MCI Classic, 2001; AT&T
Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, 2003; AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, THE
PLAYERS Championship, MCI Heritage & The INTERNATIONAL. |
| In addition to his personal triumphs he has represented the United States
in team competitions over the years, namely: Walker Cup, 1985; Dunhill Cup, 1992; World
Cup (5), 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997; Ryder Cup (5), 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002; The
Presidents Cup (5), 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2003. It looks likely that Ryder Cup selection
will be a formality again this year. |

Already in 2004, Davis Love III has had 3 PGA Tour top-10s. He tied for
9th at the Mercedes Championships, then one week later, came third at the Sony Open in
Hawaii and this week finished runner-up to Tiger Woods in the final of the WGC-Accenture
Match Play at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California. The $700,000 prize for
that second place takes his earnings so far this year to $1,181,400 and moves him up from
20th to 7th on the 2004 money list. On current form, it doesn't look like he'll be sliding
down the official world rankings either where he is currently holding fifth position. |
