This has probably been done before, but who is your favourite golfer/s on tour?
When I was a kid I loved Greg Norman, Seve, Faldo, Jesper Parnevik and John Daly. I had £2 on Greg Norman at 1000/1 when he nearly won The Open a few years back. I cannot tell you how gutted I was that a) he didn't win and b) I hadn't backed it each way. Betfair make you put two seperate bets on, that's why.
I've been a massive fan of Sergio for obvious reasons over the past 10+ years and the fact he's a bit of a nearly man adds to the appeal. His battle with Tiger at Medinah in the USPGA in '99 was one of the best golfing duels i've ever seen, the sheer confidence Sergio had back then was superb.
I'm very fond of Henrik Stenson and being part Swedish myself, i've always wanted him and other Swedes to do well. He's very temperamental, which is sometimes refreshing to see in golf. I still think he's got a major in him.
But right now, Thorbjorn Olesen is as good as any player i've seen coming through bar Rory and he's going to be an absolute star. Ever since The Open last summer where I followed him about for 2 days i've been rooting for him in tournaments. I'm looking forward to seeing how he fairs up in the US.
