Davis Love III
|
| After a career best season in 2003 with 4 wins and earning of
over $6million, Davis Love III has kicked off 2004 looking like he will have another
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. |
