Derided by some for his apparently cocky nature and colourful clothing, the criticism has often overlooked his ability to squeeze the most from his game. In addition to that dedication is a career curve that has always moved upwards - from European Tour success, through solid seasons on the PGA Tour and highly accomplished Ryder Cup appearances, to victory in this year's WGC-World Matchplay. Throughout that period he has also become more and more at home in the majors and can now boast eight top-20 finishes since the start of 2006 (and 11 top-30s). Earlier this year he had his best finish at Augusta (10th) but shortly afterwards injured himself playing basketball since when the form that made him one of the hottest players in the world during the early season has eluded him. It might be that this event comes too soon and that he still needs to recover form and fitness.
