Mark Hensby

Mark Adam Hensby (born 29 June 1971) is an Australian professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour Champions.

[2] He attended Tamworth High School, leaving at the age of 16 to work as a postie while spending most of his time on the golf course.

He moved to the United States in 1994, and having initially stayed with family friends, for a time slept in his car parked at the Cog Hill Golf & Country Club near Chicago, Illinois.

A car accident early in 2006 severely limited Hensby's ability to compete that year,[6] but he came back in 2007 to finish just outside the top 100 on the PGA Tour money list and secure his card for following season.

A series of injuries and three shoulder surgeries, plus two failed attempts at European Tour Q School, halted Hensby's career.

He parred the fourth playoff hole to win the tournament after his opponent Charlie Wi hit his approach into the water.
