Born in 1957, Wayne Grady is an Australian who won the 1990 PGA
Championship at Shoal Creek with a three-stroke victory, his second and last
on the PGA Tour. He is 224th on the money list from 17 events this year. He
missed the cut in 2000 at the Buick Open with a 75-73--148 in 36 holes and
is just shy of $2 million in lifetime winnings. Having missed the cut at Winged
Foot in '99 with an 18-over 158 he has survived the cut in four of the last
seven PGA Championships; his win was the only top-10 finish in 13 previous
PGA Championship appearances.
Grady first turned professional at the age of
16 before regaining his amateur status for five years. He beat
Ronnie Black on the third hole of their playoff to snare his
first PGA Tour win at the 1989 Manufacturers Hanover Westchester
Classic. The native of Australia's biggest victory came at
Shoal Creek in 1990 when he cruised to a three-stroke win over
Fred Couples. Grady is also an internationally respected golf
commentator for major tournaments.
