William Todd Hamilton (born October 18, 1965) is an Americanprofessional golfer. He is best known for his victory at the2004 Open Championship.

Early life

[edit]

Hamilton was born in the small west-centralIllinois city ofGalesburg. He grew up in an even smaller town,Oquawka, inHenderson County on theMississippi River. His parents were the owners of a small grocery story called "Hamilton's." He attended Union High School inBiggsville, Illinois (now West Central High School). At the time, the high school did not have a golf team, and Hamilton competed as an individual. He won back to back Class A state titles in 1981–82 and 1982–83.[2] Hamilton then played at theUniversity of Oklahoma, where he was a collegeAll-American.

Professional career

[edit]

Hamilton turned professional in 1987 but was unable to gain entrance to thePGA Tour. Instead he played internationally for many years, primarily on theJapan Golf Tour after gaining his card as winner of the 1992Asia Golf Circuit Order of Merit winner.[3] When he left the Japan Golf Tour after 12 seasons, he was the tour's 2nd all-time leading non-Japanese money winner (to USA'sDavid Ishii), with earnings of over 630 millionyen (about $6.18 million in 2014 US dollars) with 11 tour wins.

After eight tries, at the age of 38, Hamilton went back toQualifying School in 2003, where he finally earned his first PGA Tour card.

Hamilton captured his first PGA Tour win at the 2004Honda Classic. He birdied the final two holes to beatDavis Love III by one stroke at 12 under par. Later that year, he won a major championship in one of golf's all-time upsets when he defeatedErnie Els in a four-hole playoff to winThe Open Championship atRoyal Troon Golf Club. After shooting an opening round 71, he fired a second round 67 to move to -4 and a fifth-place tie with futureWorld Golf Hall of Famers Els,Vijay Singh andColin Montgomerie as well as future US Open winnerMichael Campbell. He again shot a 67 in the third round to take a one-shot lead over Els. Entering the tournament's 72nd hole, he held a one-shot lead over Els but bogeyed, leaving Els with a 12-foot birdie putt for the win, which he missed. Els and Hamilton headed for the four-hole aggregate playoff, in which Hamilton carded four pars while Els managed three pars and a bogey, and Hamilton took the win.[4]

These two victories in his first season on the PGA Tour led to Hamilton being named the 2004PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and reaching a peak world ranking of 16.[5] In his 187 subsequent tour starts, he missed the cut 111 times and had just three top-10 finishes.[6] In 2006, Hamilton captained the American team inITV's celebrity golf tournament, theAll*Star Cup.

He lost his full exempt status on the PGA Tour in 2010. Hamilton played on theWeb.com Tour in 2014 and 2015.[7] Hamilton became eligible to play on theChampions Tour after turning fifty years of age in October 2015.
