Between his first professional victory, in 1998, and his second two years later, he recorded nine runner-up finishes. When he finally did break through in a major championship, with a victory in a playoff of the British Open last year at Carnoustie, it was only after recovering from a disastrous double bogey on the final hole of regulation play...
