I was born in the small west-central Illinois city of Galesburg. I grew up in an even smaller town, Oquawka, in Henderson County on the Mississippi River and attended Union High School in Biggsville, Illinois. I attended the University of Oklahoma, where I played golf collegiately.
I turned professional in 1987 but was unable to gain entrance to the PGA Tour. Instead I played internationally for many years, primarily on the Japan Golf Tour. When I left the Japan Golf Tour after 12 seasons, I was the tour's 2nd all-time leading non-Japanese money winner (to USA's David Ishii), with earnings of over 630 million yen (about $6.18 million in 2014 US dollars) with 11 tour wins.
After eight tries, at the age of 38, I went back to Qualifying School in 2003, and finally earned my first PGA Tour card. I won my first PGA Tour event at the 2004 Honda Classic when I birdied the final two holes to beat Davis Love III by one stroke at 12 under par. Later that year, I won a major championship in one of golf's all-time upsets when I defeated Ernie Els in a four-hole playoff to win The Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club. After shooting an opening round 71, I fired a second round 67 to move to -4 and a fifth-place tie with future World Golf Hall of Famers Els, Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie as well as Michael Campbell. I again shot a 67 in the third round to take a one-shot lead over Els. Entering the tournament's 72nd hole, I held a one-shot lead over Els, but bogeyed the 18th hole, leaving Els with a 12-foot birdie putt for the win, which he missed. Els and I headed for the four-hole aggregate playoff, I carded four pars while Els managed three pars and a bogey, so I took the win.
These two victories in my first season on the PGA Tour led to my being named the 2004 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. I continued to play well in the wake of the Open Championship win, making the cut in the five remaining tour events. However, in 187 subsequent tour starts, I missed the cut 111 times and had just three top-10 finishes. In 2006, I captained the American team in ITV's celebrity golf tournament, the All*Star Cup.
