Nick<br />
Flanagan<br />
Meet the young Australian with a<br />
penchant for punk rock music,<br />
mountain biking and beachside life.<br />
<strong>Callaway</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> Staff Pro Nick Flanagan<br />
has quickly settled into life on the PGA Tour. In<br />
his 16th start, the 22-year-old from New South<br />
Wales, Australia, earned his first top-10, a T9 at<br />
the Mayakoba <strong>Golf</strong> Classic, with a career low,<br />
final-round 64.<br />
In 2003, Flanagan became the first foreign-born<br />
player to win the U.S. Amateur Championship<br />
in 22 years. He turned pro the next year and<br />
played the Australasian Tour in 2004 and 2005<br />
before joining the Nationwide Tour. In 2007,<br />
he logged consecutive wins at the Henrico<br />
County Open and the BMW Charity Pro-Am<br />
at The Cliffs.<br />
Flanagan was named Nationwide Tour<br />
Player of the Year and earned a “battlefield<br />
promotion” from the Nationwide Tour after<br />
a third win at the Xerox Classic.<br />
inspiration:<br />
He became serious about<br />
golf at age 14, after<br />
watching Tiger Woods<br />
win the 1997 U.S. Masters<br />
on television.<br />
First broke par:<br />
At age 15, with a 3-underpar<br />
69 at Belmont <strong>Golf</strong><br />
Club, New South Wales,<br />
Australia.<br />
Off course:<br />
In his rare down time,<br />
the Aussie enjoys<br />
alternative and punk<br />
rock music, mountain<br />
biking and the beach.<br />
In his own words:<br />
“My goal right now is<br />
to continue to improve.<br />
That’s what <strong>Callaway</strong><br />
<strong>Golf</strong> is all about, too.<br />
<strong>This</strong> is my first full season<br />
on the PGA Tour, and<br />
I’m working hard to<br />
make my mark and log<br />
my first win. With the<br />
best technology and my<br />
goals and desire, I know<br />
I can make that happen.”<br />
