rik van Rooyen’s travels in golf have taken him plac-
es he wasn’t expecting without ever losing sight of
the big picture.
He wants to be among the elite in golf, and the
next month could be a big step.
Even with a poor tee at the wrong time – the first hole of
a six-man playoff – van Rooyen’s tie for second in Turkey
moved him to No. 8 in the Race to Dubai standings and
No. 51 in the world with two events left in the European
Tour season. The first one is this week in his native South
Africa at the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
Along with being in the hunt for the Race to Dubai, a
strong finish might be enough for him to end the year in the
top 50. That would get him in at least three majors, in-
cluding the Masters, and most likely two World Golf Cham-
pionships in the spring.
“It’s important,” van Rooyen said. “I would love to finish
the year top 50 in the world. It’s been a goal from the start.”
The 29-year-old started the year at No. 141 and cracked
the top 100 for the first time with his tie for eighth in the
PGA Championship at Bethpage Black. He took another
step with a 64-64 weekend to win the Scandinavian Masters.
He would love nothing more than a return to the United
States, where he would surely face more questions about
going to college.
How does a guy who grew up across the Outeniqua
Mountains from the Indian Ocean wind up at the University
of Minnesota?
“The first question everybody asks me,” he said with a
laugh. “At the time, they were top 30 in the country and I
wanted to play for a really competitive school.”
Van Rooyen spent three years on the Sunshine Tour. A
playoff victory over Dylan Frittelli in the Eye of Africa PGA
Championship gave him enough money to pay for his year
on the Challenge Tour in Europe, where he won late in the
season to earn a trip to the European Tour.
He made it to the season finale in Dubai as a rookie last
year. He made the cut in all three majors he played this year
(minus the Masters). His seven top-10 finishes, including his
victory in Sweden, have at least given him a chance in the
Race to Dubai. He also did well enough to merit a phone call
from Ernie Els, albeit with bad news that he would not be a
captain’s pick for the Presidents Cup.
“I don’t think I’m close to reaching my full potential,” van
Rooyen said. “I know guys are younger than me playing
good golf. That’s okay. I’m on my road.”
The playoff loss in Turkey helped more than van Rooyen.
Right behind him – in the Race to Dubai and the world
ranking – was Victor Perez of France, who was part of the
playoff. Perez won the Dunhill Links Championship a
month ago. Perez also has experience in the United States.
He played his college golf at the University of New Mexico.
SPIETH’S CHANCE
Graeme McDowell was the alternate who replaced tourna-
ment host Tiger Woods at the Chevron World Challenge in
2009, and it paid huge dividends. Jordan Spieth might get a
similar opportunity. McDowell was just inside the top 50 at
the deadline to qualify for the tournament, so he was eligi-
ble as an alternate when it was played in early December,
even though his world ranking was No. 55.
The field must be among the top 50 for the event to get
world ranking points.
McDowell was runner-up to Jim Furyk, which moved him
to No. 38 in the world. He was just inside the top 50 at the
deadline for an exemption to the US Open, which he won a
month later. His first major got him on the Ryder Cup team,
and he delivered the winning point for Europe.
Spieth fell to No. 43 this week and is in danger of falling
out of the top 50 for the first time in six years. But he is
getting one of two sponsor exemptions for the Hero World
Challenge in three weeks. His situation is not that dire. He
already is set for the four majors. But the Bahamas will
provide a great chance to pick up valuable ranking points
before he resumes competition in January.
MONEY MARKS
The Asia Swing allowed four players to cross milestones on
the PGA Tour’s career money list.
It starts with Tiger Woods, whose victory in the Zozo
Championship in Japan pushed him over US$120-million.
Rory McIlroy won the HSBC Champions in China to be-
come the 10th player to surpass the US$50-million mark.
Sergio Garcia became the ninth player to top US$50-million,
but only because he finished the final round before McIlroy.
Paul Casey with his tie for 17th in Japan became the 38th
player to surpass US$30-million in career earnings.
XANDER’S ADVICE
Five young players from the HSBC junior golf program got
quite the surprise last week when in the middle of a compe-
tition on the range at Sheshan International, they were
suddenly joined by Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Ian Poulter,
Xander Schauffele and Li Haotong. All took turns coaching
a junior and offering some tips.
Schauffele’s advice caught the attention even of the pros.
He told his junior to find someone to play against and
keep playing until he regularly beats him, even if it’s some-
one he doesn’t like.
“I was always the youngest to play, whether it be at my
home golf club or in competitions,” McIlroy said. “I was
always playing with people that were better than me. Even
my caddy now, Harry [Diamond], he’s basically five years
older than me and he was a very good player, and I always
played with him. But that made me a better player because I
saw what level I needed to get to.”
