Aaron Baddeley

In 2007, Baddeley continued to develop into one of golf's brightest young stars, claiming his second PGA Tour victory at the FBR Open in February. This jumpstarted a career-year in which the 26-year-old Australian notched seven top-10s, finished sixth in the inaugural FedEx Cup and No. 10 on the PGA Tour money list with nearly $3.5 million in earnings. Recognized for his sterling short game, Baddeley's outstanding professional play has been predicted since his teenage years. He burst onto the international golf scene in 1999, by becoming the youngest player (17) to capture the Holden Australian Open. The win established him as one of the most heralded amateurs in history, a standing he validated by defending his title the following year.
