There are few enigmas in golf like the willowy Adelaide man. He is proudly Australian and yet boasts genes from the British royal family. He was the hothead who transformed himself into the calmest man in the sport. He is widely appreciated as one of the smartest brains in golf yet his schedule often looks a little cock-eyed. And he is the double winner at blustery Kapalua in the season-opening Mercedes Championship who professes he cannot play in wind due to his high ball flight. The way he has started both the last two years with a win in Hawaii has fooled us all into thinking he is going to play the big occasions well again and yet he never has. He won this event in 2006 (in the middle of a run that saw him collect six top-10 finishes in 16 major starts) but his last seven major starts have reaped nothing better than a tie for 15th. Eleven starts since that win in Hawaii are yet to earn him a top-10 so it looks as if the poor major returns are set to continue.
