Profile
Claimed
the biggest title
of his career in July
2005 when he stood
firm as others faltered
at The K Club in Ireland
to win the Smurfit
European Open. Nearly
followed that up with
another victory in
the Dunhill Links
Championship in October
but was overhauled
by Colin Montgomerie
in a thrilling last
round duel on the
Old Course at St Andrews.
The 2005 Season is
his best season on
Tour. His first Tour
title came in the
2003 Canarias Open
de Espana when he
beat Peter Hedblom
and Peter Lawrie at
the second play-off
hole. The 2002 winner
had been Sergio Garcia
which was appropriate
for it was not the
first time the pair’s
names has been placed
side by side on a
trophy, the first
one being the British
Boys Championship
which Ferrie won in
1996 and Garcia won
in 1997. Won the Tessali
Open de Sud on the
Challenge Tour in
2000 and finished
joint runner-up the
following week. Brother,
Iain, has also played
on the Challenge Tour
