Paul played in the 1991 Walker Cup helping Liam White beat Phil Mickelson and Bob May then gained his card on his first visit to Qualifying School later that year.

Paul achieved his place in golfing folklore by holing the winning putt on his Ryder Cup Debut in 2002. He also went on to represent European in 2004 and 2006, making him the first European Golfer to be a winner in every one of his three appearances.

Equipment

During the off-season I worked with TaylorMade to update my equipment. Many of you may know that they purchased Adams last year who produced some wonderful hybrids and I have put two of these in my bag for this year. I have also switched to the latest ball model ‘ Lethal’, again it’s a 5 piece construction continuing on from the success of the penta , it will be launched on the market beginning of February. Finally I want to mention these great new shoes Adidas have produced , the ‘adizero tour’ this is a lightweight model with 10 spikes , quite frankly it gives you the feeling of these street shoes but with that added grip that you receive from spikes.
