ABOUT

Growing up in Australia I played a variety of sports including baseball, tennis and golf. The latter eventually won out and after completing a 3-year traineeship to become a golf professional, I dreamed of playing the game for a living.

After struggling early as a pro, I ended up becoming one of the most consistent players in the game, reaching No. 16 in the Official World Golf Rankings, representing the International Team at two Presidents Cups, and becoming the only person ever to beat Tiger Woods twice in the World Match Play Championship. 

After retiring from full time play, my family and I moved back to Australia from the United States. Now living in Melbourne, I’m a coach, TV commentator, keynote speaker, author, and also co-host (with Mark Allen) the No. 1 golf podcast in Australia - Talk Birdie to Me.
