One of the young English golfers that has emerged in the
last couple of years along with the likes of
Luke Donald,
Paul Casey and Ian
Poulter, to become one of the top golfers in Europe.
Born in South Africa in 1980, Justin spent the first years
of his life there before his family moved to England.
After a promising amateur career which ended with a
dramatic finish at the
Open Championship in 1998 which saw him finish tied 4th,
Justin decided to turn professional.
After a rocky start to his new career he ploughed on until
his first professional win in 2002 where he returned to his country of birth to
snatch the Dunhill Championship.
To date, Justin has won 7 Tour events so far and no doubt
will continue to win many more. He was awarded the prestigious European
Order of Merit for earning over 2.9 million euros in tournament prize money
during 2007.
In 2008 he earned a place on the European Ryder Cup Golf
team and showed his worth by earning valuable points in the singles, and proved
and excellent pairing with Ian Poulter. Unfortunately he was somewhat let down
by the rest of the team’s performance at the
Valhalla Golf Club, but no doubt he
will be a top choice for the next Ryder Cup in 2010.
