About Aaron
One of golf’s brightest young stars, Baddeley continued to excel in 2008, including eight PGA Tour top-20s, highlighted by a tie-for-second at the Verizon Heritage. This followed a 2007 season in which the 27-year-old Australian 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.
