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 />
