Golf Scorecard History 101, Wales
Set $7
Criccieth GC to Glamorganshire GC
Who are the best golfers ever from Wales? According to Golf Monthly here are three of their choices.
Ian Woosnam - greatest ever golfer to come from Wales, Ian Woosnam achieved all there was to achieve in the game. He won a Major, got to world number one and played a key role in the growth of European golf in the 1980s and 1990s. He won 29 times on the European Tour which puts him 6th all time and he was all involved in nine Ryder Cups (eight as a player, once as a victorious captain in 2006.
Dai Rees - Rees finished runner-up at The Open Championship three times and yet his finest moment came at the Ryder Cup. He was involved in ten events and had a respectable record despite the American dominance from 1933 to 1985, a period the Americans only lost once.
Phillip Price - A three-time winner on the European Tour, Price’s greatest moment as a professional came when facing Phil Mickelson at the 2002 Ryder Cup. The event was poised for a close finish as the final day singles progressed at The Belfry, and nobody really expected Price to be able to contend with Mickelson, but he did just that as he secured a vital point after a 3&2 victory
Brian Huggett - A serial winner throughout his career, Welshman Brian Huggett collected 14 European circuit victories, and two more with the formation of the European Tour back in 1972. He won the European Order of Merit in 1968 and then added 10 European Senior Tour victories to boot. He was involved in seven Ryder Cups.
