Richard Sterne's Golf Clubs

Richard Sterne

Residence: Pretoria, South Africa
DOB: 27/08/1981

Richard Sterne took up golf at the age of four after his grandmother took him to play one day. He went on to have a superb amateur career - becoming the first South African to win both the junior and senior National Stroke Play and Match Play titles. He turned professional in 2001, gaining his card to play on the main European Tour in 2003, since when he has won twice– the 2004 Open de Madrid, and the 2007 Celtic Manor Wales Open where he dashed Welsh hopes by beating home favourite Bradley Dredge into second spot. He has also won on the South Africa Sunshine Tour, most recently (July 2007), the Vodacom Championship – which took him into the top 30 of the Official World Golf Rankings. Our biog photo shows Richard with his 2007 Wales Open Trophy.

Tournaments

2007	Barclays Scottish Open

Played between 12-15 July 2007 at the fabulous Loch Lomond course. As the curtain raiser to the Open Championship the following week at Carnoustie, the Barclays Scottish Open attracted some of the biggest names in the world – Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Luke Donald and others all made the trip. It wasn’t, however, one of the big names who walked away with the £50,000 first prize – but a virtually unknown Frenchman - Gregory Havret - who holed a tricky 5-footer on the first extra hole to beat world no 3 Phil Mickelson in a play-off. The title also earned Havret the last remaining spot at the Open.
