Retief Goosen


Residence: Pietersburg, South Africa and Ascot, England
DOB: 02/03/1969 		Retief Goosen has for a long time been one of the best golfers in the world. Apart from having 14 European Tour victories and 4 US Tour victories to his name, he secured his place among golf’s greats with two US Open victories - in 2001 at Tulsa and 2004 at Shinnecock Hills. In 2001 Goosen became the first non-European to win the European Order of Merit since Greg Norman in 1982 and repeated the feat in 2002 – becoming the first non-European to retain the crown. He was duly elected an Honorary Member of The European Tour. Goosen is known for his extremely calm temperament, a trait which earned him his nickname on the US PGA Tour – ‘The Iceman’ – although he is more often simply known as ‘Goose’. (you can actually buy his goose headcover he uses by clicking ‘headcovers’ on the left.) Retief has had a great start to 2007 – an incredible birdie, eagle finish allowed him to claim victory in the Commercialbank Qatar Masters in Qatar in January – and he finished 2nd in the Masters at Augusta National in April.

 2007  Celtic Manor Wales Open

Played between 31st May and 3rd June 2007, the 2007 Wales Open took place at Celtic Manor – venue for the 2010 Ryder Cup – and was won by South Africa’s Richard Sterne who holed a five footer on the 18th to take the £250,000 winner’s cheque – and dash Welsh hopes by edging out the big home favourite Bradley Dredge. Dredge was the joint overnight leader, but having run up an amazing five birdies in a row from the ninth, his drive on 18 clipped a fairway bunker from where he had to chip out short. A superb pitch left him with a six-footer to go into the play-off, but tantalisingly, it caught the lip and just stayed above ground.
