This Colombian-born 27-year-old wrapped up last season on a serious roll. He captured both the BMW Championship and Tour Championship (two of four FedEx Cup events), earned $4.4 million in prize money and pocketed a cool $3 million bonus based on his final FedEx Cup standing. Read on for his gamers.
Favorite Club
"I'd better love all
14. I eventually have
to hit them all, and
if I dislike one, I'll
just get over the ball
with a bad attitude,
and the outcome
won’t be great."
Shaft grab bag
"There are so many
shafts, flexes, weights,
kick points and
torques that you
need to get fitted
for in order to get
the right match."
Special ball mark
"I've had an
Australian fifty-cent
piece since '04. It's
kind of big, and that's
why I like it. I can see
it from both sides."
Oldest club
"I can't even tell
you. It's probably
my Cameron
putter. I've been
using it for a
year and a half, almost two years."
