Thomas Bjorn

[Doon frae Troon]

Hard to believe that he is only 42 years old
He seems to have been around for ever.
I was thinking that he will soon be on the Seniors Tour.

42 ?! Really ? Sure he isn't 52

Blimey thought he was in his 30's when he threw away the Open

Dob.....Feb 1971 according to his Bio.
Jings my eldest daughter is only just younger than him.

He has been around for ever as the OP said. I don't think he'll figure much more as there are too many young bucks on the tour these days

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Gotta admit that's a surprise to me. I would have had him knocking on 50!

A few years ago on another golf blog there was a thread about who we thought would be a comeback king and win again on the tour.
I said Thomas and got absolute pelters from many posters as he was in about 1001st place on ranking.

When he takes his cap off he, like Furyk, ages 20 years!

Two eagles in the first 6 holes coming in. Could be a sub 30 inward half.

Was it really only ten years ago ! Blimey I thought it was in the 90's

No, 2003 at St George's - my first ever Open on the staff of the mag. Arrived at the course on the first day just as Tiger was trudging back to the tee...

That is something that will help stick the date in your mind.

Is that when he had his strop after dumping his tee shot in the rough on the right ?
