Player Notes Bjorn became the first Dane to win Ryder Cup honours when he played at Valderrama in 1997. He gained a notable halve with then-British Open champion Justin Leonard in Europe's win from four down after four. Bjorn lost his place in 1999 after a series of injury setbacks, but last season was joint second in the British Open and third in the PGA Championship. Then in Dubai this year he went head-to-head with Tiger Woods for 72 holes, and beat him.
