To be a successful golf course designer requires talent, experience, artistry, passion, commitment, a respect for the environment and construction/operating budgets, as well as a deep understanding of the game and its traditions.

He also had a hole in one whilst playing in The US Masters. He won 5 European Tour events and 21 top 3 finishes. His best finish in a major was 3rd in the British Open.
