Mr Consistency Jim Furyk still hungry for titles

While Tiger Woods wrestles with back issues and sharply declining form and Vijay Singh has battled assorted health problems in recent years, veteran Jim Furyk is playing some of the best golf of his career.

At the age of 44 and despite a few “dings, nicks and bruises along the way,” American Furyk is still one of the most consistent players around as he continues his quest to add further PGA Tour titles to his impressive tally of 16.

Criticised by some pundits early on in his career for his highly unorthodox and loopy swing, Furyk’s game has stood the test of time and he maintains a high level of fitness while many of his peers have succumbed to injury and dips in form.
