The only player to finish in the top five at each of the past two editions of the Open Championship? It's not Tiger Woods or Lee Westwood, but this guy named Wood. ... The 6-foot-5 golfer finished T-5 as an amateur at Royal Birkdale in 2008, then followed with a T-3 result as a professional at Turnberry last year. ... Owns three top-20 results in eight European Tour starts this season.
"It's weird [that] I've contended in two majors already. The experiences I've got out of the Open -- they're going to be amazing for my career. I'm just going to move on and move on every year."
CAREER BEST FINISH:
T-3, 2009 Open Championship
