HIS STORY: After five years in the wilderness on the US PGA Tour, Aaron Baddeley returned with a bang in 2016, winning the Barbasol Championship after beating Kim Si-woo in a dramatic four-hole playoff. It sparked wild celebrations from the normally quiet family man, and handed him a two-year exemption on
the US PGA Tour. Heads into this week as a two-time winner, including his famous 1999 triumph at this very venue where he held off Greg Norman and Colin Montgomerie as an amateur.
