Bio:
Brendon finished the 2009
season with a bang. He shot 17 under at the PGA
Qualifying school at Bear Lakes to finish 5th and earn
his exempt status for the 2010 PGA Tour season. Brendon
earned just under $550,000 and had 3 top ten finishes in
2009. He seems to get better each year he has been on
tour and 2010 looks to be a breakout year. He will start
his season in Hawaii playing in the Sony Open.
2008 was a breakout year for Brendon on the Nationwide
Tour . He made the cut in 22 of his 28 events and racked
up nine Top-10 finishes. In August of that year, he won
the Xerox Classic by four shots. His $437,000 in prize
money finished him in 2nd place on the Money List and
secured his return trip to the PGA Tour in 2009. 2007
was Brendon’s rookie season on the PGA Tour. With Top 10
finishes at the Mayakoba Classic and the Reno-Tahoe
Open, Brendon earned $447,000 and finished 175th on the
Money List. In 2008 he was named Nationwide Player of
the Year by his peers.
Brendon, a native of Zimbabwe, won his country’s
national amateur champion in 1999, breaking Nick Price’s
scoring record. He came to the U.S. to play his college
golf at Virginia Tech. |
