Player Notes: Comes from a sporting family as his great grandfather represented Belgium in basketball and water polo at the 1920 Olympic Games. Finally began to fulfill his potential in 2009, having started the season without a category on the Challenge Tour, when he made his long-awaited breakthrough at the SK Golf Challenge in Finland. Intensive winter training at the A-Game International Golf Academy in Brisbane, Australia, at the start of the year paid off when he won in Finland in a playoff. Later added the Dutch Futures, where he romped home by four strokes. Those two victories, plus a further eight top-10 finishes, meant he finished the year in third place in the Challenge Tour Rankings and climbed to 127th in the Official World Golf Rankings, having started the year outside the top 1000. Made his breakthrough at the 2011 Volvo China Open and ended an impressively consistent season 20th in The Race to Dubai, the highest of his career. Known for his length off the tee, Colsaerts turned professional in November 2000 on his 18th birthday, three days before the start of the Qualifying School Finals in Spain. Successfully negotiated all three stages and won the fifth card, becoming the second youngest player to achieve the feat. A lover of house music.Defeated 2010 U.S. Open Champion Graeme McDowell, 1-up, to capture the Volvo World Match Play Championship in May of this year.

Player Notes: Rewrote the record books at the 2011 U.S. Open by winning at Congressional Country Club with the lowest score in that championship's 115-year history, 16-under-par. The Northern Irishman had a 65 to lead after the first round, and he stayed way out in front over the next three rounds, producing an eight-stroke win over runner-up Jason Day. The victory was just two months after he came agonizingly close to winning his first major at the Masters Tournament, where he took a four-stroke lead into the final round, only to shoot 80 and finish 10 strokes behind champion Charl Schwartzel. Hit a 40-yard drive at the age of two, and later enjoyed a glittering amateur career during which he reached the top of the World Amateur Rankings and became the youngest winner of the prestigious West of Ireland and Irish Closed Championship, in 2005. Came to world wide attention for the first time with a superb opening 68 in The 2007 Open Championship at Carnoustie, the only bogey-free round of the day, and finished third in his second event as a professional, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. That earned him enough money to assure his place in the top 115 to be the then youngest and quickest Affiliate Member to secure his card – in just two events. Represented Europe at the 2004 Junior Ryder Cup and elevated to the real thing at The Celtic Manor Resort in October 2010, where he won two points out of four, including a crucial half in Singles: against Stewart Cink on the final day.Underlined his reputation as one of the game’s most exciting young players in 2010, making his Ryder Cup debut, being in contention in two Major Championships and clinching his maiden US PGA Tour title. Enjoyed a fine finish to the season to come 13th in The Race to Dubai, not quite managing the heights of the season before when he finished 2nd, when he narrowly missed out on becoming the youngest player to win the Harry Vardon Trophy since Seve Ballesteros in 1976 as Lee Westwood beat him in the money race. However, he won the 2010 Quail Hollow Championship in the United States in May 2010, thanks to a final round 62 to beat Phil Mickelson by four shots. Also finished tied third in both The British Open Championship and the PGA Championship, his opening 63 in the former at St. Andrews the lowest first round in the history of the tournament. Joined the PGA Tour in 2010, dropped membership in 2011, but has signed up again for 2012. Has had a rapid rise up the Official World Rankings. After his first professional start in 2007, was 308th. Got into the top-100 on Oct. 19, 2008. Got into the top-50 with his T-2nd finish at the 2008 Hong Kong Open. Moved into the top-20 when he won the 2009 Dubai Desert Classic and at the end of 2009 moved into the top-ten with a 3rd at the Dubai World. With his win at the Honda Classic this year, moved into the No. 1 spot, which only lasted two weeks before Luke Donald regained it with his Transition win. Did regain it back for a short time in April and lost it again to Donald in May.Played on the 2007 Walker Cup Team. 2010 Notes: Rookie season on the PGA Tour highlighted by an electric, final-round 62 at the Quail Hollow Championship en route to first PGA Tour victory. Posted T-3 finishes at the British Open and PGA Championship and was a member of the victorious European Ryder Cup team. Gave up his PGA Tour membership for 2011.2011 Notes: Won his first major in record-setting fashion by eight shots at the U.S. Open at Congressional CC. At 22 years, 1 month, 15 days, he is the ninth-youngest winner of the U.S. Open and the youngest to win the event since Bobby Jones in 1923. He is the first player in U.S. Open history to get to double-digits under-par in the first two rounds. He is the first player in U.S. Open history to reach 13-under par, 14-under par, 15-under par, 16-under par and 17-under par.
