England at THE PLAYERS

text size

England is the home of many accomplished professional golfers, yet none have been able to claim the top prize at THE PLAYERS Championship (well, Sandy Lyle was born in England, but he represents Scotland). Most recently, Luke Donald came closest in 2005 when he tied for second behind Fred Funk (Nick Faldo also tied for second in 1992). But with a bevy of young stars -- including first-timers Ross Fisher and Oliver Wilson this year -- England may be on the verge of finding its way to the winner's circle at TPC Sawgrass.
