Richard Sterne

The European Tour veteran from South Africa has tinkered with the PGA Tour, but now has his card for the first time. With six Euro wins – he walloped runner-up Charl Schwartzel by seven strokes in February 2013 in Johannesburg -- he’s not your ordinary newcomer. But he’s also still recovering from hip surgery. He missed the cut in the Open Championship but finished T35 at the PGA Championship. At 33, he’s got a lot of golf left and, if healthy, should be a lock for the top 125 and perhaps a lot more. A key will be how many starts he gets and, being ninth in the priority rankings, he should do well in that department.
