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, my dream of playing for a living began.

After struggling early as a pro, I became one of the most consistent players in the game, climbing all the way up to No. 16 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

At two Presidents Cups I represented the International Team, and am the only person ever to beat Tiger Woods twice in the World Match Play Championship. 

After retiring from the tour, 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 co-host of Talk Birdie to Me, the No. 1 golf podcast in Australia.
