He was a young player in the Ryder Cup in the late nineties. He was hyped pretty hard and seems to have disappeared the best I can tell. He had brown hair, I believe and a short name.

All this Ryder Cup talk got me thinking about him.

Duval? lol only joking

LOL!

I should have been more clear that he was on the Euro team.

Niclas Fasth? If it is him, he is still around on the European Tour.

Lee Westwood? If so he has been improving as of recent years. He was strong then went in the dumps and now has arisen. Could it be him?...........If your looking for the humorous answer ill say SERGIO GARCIA LOL

I have a you are thinking of the player currently ranked 292nd in the world.

Injured Miguel Angel Martin (Spain) qualified and is considered a non-playing member of the European team

It must have been 95. Maybe 93. Have that list?

Ever heard of Google?

Here's the playing record of every UK/GB&I/Euro who has ever played in the Ryder Cup:

You may be joking, but he DOES fit the description!

Maybe Justin Rose???...hes around and doing fine. The young guy who finished i believe fourth at an Open awhile back and chipped in on the final hole.

It just came to me (without Google tyvm). Peter Baker. He was kind of tall with dark brown hair right?

By the way, what has happened to him?

Tiger BLASTED Coltart in the singles matches in 99.

Baker is still around, supplementing his mediocre play on the Euro tour by entering Challenge Tour events. He never played much over here except for getting invites to all the majors the year after he made his only Ryder Cup team.

I sure don't remember him being hyped. In my mind he's just another Philip Walton, e.g., a guy who won once or thrice on their tour, kicked butt and took names at the RC, then entered the witness protection program.
