      Stephen Dodd

      Stephen Dodd (born 15 July 1966) is a Welsh golfer who after a very moderate career, unexpectedly won two events on the European Tour in the 2005 season at the age of 38.

      Dodd won The Amateur Championship at Royal Birkdale in 1989, which qualified him to play in the Masters the following year, but he spent the early years of his professional career on the second tier Challenge Tour. In 1992 he won the Bank Austria Open on that tour, but his results were generally patchy. He first qualified to for the main European Tour in 1995, but didn’t finish in the top one hundred of the rankings until 2001, when he came 97th. He then had new personal best seasons in 2003 and 2004, finishing 80th and 58th respectively.

      The 2005 season marked a sudden improvement in Dodd’s fortunes. He won the first tournament he entered that season, the Volvo China Open (actually played in late 2004), which is one of several events co-sanctioned by the European Tour and the Asian Tour. A few weeks later he picked up a new biggest paycheck of his career by coming tied second in the higher profile Dubai Desert Classic. In May 2005 he won the Nissan Irish Open, a considerably more prestigious tournament than his previous victory, and in November of the same year he won the WGC-World Cup for Wales in partnership with Bradley Dredge. He finished 2005 ranked 17th on the Order of Merit.

      In 2006 he won the Smurfit European Open. In 1989 he was Welsh sports personality of the year.

      Amateur career
      Becky Brewerton had a successful amateur career. She was Welsh Girls Champion in 1997 and 1998 and Welsh Ladies Champion in 1999 and 2001. She became British Ladies Open amateur strokeplay champion in 1999 and 2002, a year she also became European Women’s Individual Amateur Champion.

      She represented Great Britain and Ireland in the Curtis Cup in 2000,[5] and the Vagliano Trophy in 2001 and 2003. She was initially in the 2002 Curtis Cup squad but was somewhat controversially dropped from the final team but played in the 2002 Espirito Santo Trophy World Amateur Golf Team Championships and was named as the Daily Telegraph Golfer of the year.

      She received two invitations to play on the Ladies European Tour in 2003. She held the halfway lead at the Tenerife Ladies Open in May finally finishing the tournament in second place and was beaten into second place again at the Wales WPGA Championship by a 74 foot birdie putt on the final green by Shani Waugh.

      She turned professional after she finished 13th at the 2003 Ladies European Tour Qualifying School.

      Professional career
      In her 2004 rookie season Brewerton was second in the Ryder Cup Wales Rookie of the Year competition[16] and finished 8th on the Order of Merit with 4 top ten finishes. She followed up with 4 more top tens in 2005 which gave her a 19th place finish on the moneylist. In 2006 she had 5 top tens and finished 15th on the New Star Money List.

      In 2005, together with Becky Morgan,] she finished 6th in the Women’s World Cup of Golf in South Africa. The pair improved on that performance in 2006 finishing 3rd, added an eighth place finish in 2007 and a sixth place in 2008.

      Her maiden professional victory was a three stroke win at the 2007 Ladies English Open. This, plus four other top ten finishes, earned Brewerton a place on the 2007 European Solheim Cup Team, the first Welsh golfer to make the team. These results ensured that Brewerton was 2nd placed bin the BBC Wales Sports Personality of the Year 2007, and was voted The Towergate Professional Player of the Year.
