José María Olazábal Manterola (Spanish pronunciation:[xoˈsemaˈɾiaolaˈθaβalmanteˈɾola],Basque:[olas̻abal]; born 5 February 1966) is a Spanishprofessional golfer from theBasque Country, Spain who has enjoyed success on both theEuropean Tour and thePGA Tour. He has won 30 professional tournaments, including twomajor championships, both the1994 and1999 Masters Tournaments.

Olazábal played for Europe in sevenRyder Cups from 1987 to 2006. He also served as captain at the2012 Ryder Cup, where the European team overcame a 10–6 deficit to win 14½–13½.^[3]

Early life

[edit]

Olazábal was born inHondarribia, a town in theBasque Country of Spain, the day after the golf course Real Golf Club de San Sebastian opened next to his family's home. His father Gaspar succeeded his grandfather as greenskeeper at the golf club, where his mother also worked. Olazábal began to hit golf balls at age 2 with a shortened club, and at age 6 he could practice on the course in late afternoons.^[4]

Amateur career

[edit]

As an amateur, he represented Spain on all levels. He represented Spain in competing in theEisenhower Trophy at 16 years of age in1982, and again two years later, in1984.

In 1983, he won theBoys Amateur Championship at Glenbervie Golf Club,Scotland, and in 1984, he wonThe Amateur Championship at Formby Golf Club,Liverpool, England, at age 18, beatingColin Montgomerie 5 and 4 in the final. The year after, when he won theBritish Youths Open Amateur Championship, atGanton Golf Club, England, he became the first player to have won the British Boy's, Youth's and Amateur titles in a career.^[5]

At the1985 European Amateur Team Championship inHalmstad, Sweden, Olazabal made a hole-in-one at the 13th hole on his way to winning 3 and 2 against Colin Montgomerie in the semi-final between Spain and Scotland. However, Scotland went on to win the team tournament.^[6]

The month before his British Youths title, Olazábal, finished tied 25th and low amateur at the1985 Open Championship in tough conditions atRoyal St George's Golf Club inSandwich, England.

Professional career

[edit]

In his rookie professional season of1986, he finished second on theEuropean Tour Order of Merit aged 20. In his first nine seasons, he finished in the top 10 every year except two, including another second place in 1989. He was unable to play in 1996 due to a foot injury but he recovered and recorded further top 10 placings in the Order of Merit in 1997, 1999 and 2000.

He has won 23 career titles on the European Tour, which is ninth best all-time.

He was in theworld top 10 for over 300 weeks between 1989 and 1995.^[7] Had Olazábal beatenIan Woosnam at the1991 Masters Tournament (he finished second) he would have become the World No. 1.^{[citation needed]}

In 1990, Olazábal made a, at the time, rare visit to the PGA Tour, invited in a limited field to theNEC World Series of Golf atFirestone Country Club inAkron, Ohio. He opened with a course record 61, continued with aggregate course and tournament records after every round and finished with an 18-under 262 total, 12 strokes ahead of second placedLanny Wadkins. After congratulating Olazábal, Wadkins joked that he wished Olazábal back to Europe immediately.^[8]

Both of Olazábal's majors have come in the United States, namely The Masters in 1994 and 1999.^[9]^[10] These wins make him one of only two winners of the Amateur Championship since World War II to have gone on to win a professional major. He has been highly placed in The Masters on a number of other occasions. Olazábal shares the record for the lowest round in thePGA Championship (63), which he accomplished in the third round atValhalla Golf Club in 2000.^[11]

In 2001, Olazábal began to play on thePGA Tour, while also retaining his membership of the European Tour. He had a solid year on the PGA Tour in 2002, when he won nearly $2 million and came 24th on the money list, but has not duplicated the success he enjoyed in Europe in the 1980s and 1990s.^[12] He has six career PGA Tour titles, five of them won before he became a full member of the Tour. In 2006, he made a return to the top 15 of the world rankings.

Olazábal was a member of Europe'sRyder Cup team seven times from 1987 to 2006. He formed a famous partnership with fellow SpaniardSeve Ballesteros that spanned many years,^[13] and formed a similarly successful partnership withSergio García in 2006.

Olazábal captained the European team at the2012 Ryder Cup for the defence of the trophy atMedinah Country Club in Illinois.^[14] After his team went down 10–4 during the second day and 10–6 going into the last day, he helped engineer the greatest ever Ryder Cup comeback with the European team eventually winning by 14½ points to 13½.^[15] Olazábal was very emotional with the win, saying in an interview that that was his number one happiest golf moment and happiest moment of his life. The win was inspired by his late friendSeve Ballesteros, to whom he dedicated the win.^[3] He confirmed afterwards that he would not consider himself for captaincy in the next Ryder Cup.

Olazábal holds the world record distance for a completed putt. During the 1999 European Ryder Cup team'sConcorde flight to the United States, he holed a putt which travelled the full length of the cabin. The ball was in motion for 26.17s, during which time the Concorde, at 1,270 mph, traveled 9.232 miles, beating U.S. golferBrad Faxon's previous record of 8.5 miles, set in 1997.^[16]

Awards and honors

[edit]

In 2009, Olazábal was elected to theWorld Golf Hall of Fame in 2009 with 56% of the vote on the international ballot.^[17]

On 19 June 2013, Olazábal was presented with Spain's most prestigious sporting honor, thePrince of Asturias Award in recognition of his accomplishments as a player and leader of the 2012 Ryder Cup team. He is only the second golfer to be honored since the awards were launched in 1987;Seve Ballesteros was honored in 1989.^[18]
