21. Josh Broadaway. There are plenty of professional golfers who putt cross-handed, but how many swing a club in that fashion? Broadaway belongs to that select group, swinging right-handed with his left hand lower on the grip and employing a southpaw grip with his putter. The Georgia native has employed that unique strategy since he was five years old — and his career goal is to become the first cross-handed player to win a major.

22. Henrik Bjornstad. When Bjornstad finished tied for 13th at PGA TOUR Qualifying School in 2005, he solidified himself as the first Norwegian ever to be a PGA TOUR member. The 30-year-old Oslo native has been on the Nationwide Tour since 2007 and came out hot in 2009 with a pair of fourth-place finishes in his first three events.

23. Guy Boros. The 45-year-old is the son of World Golf Hall of Fame member Julius Boros, who won the U.S. Open in 1952 and 1963. Guy has recorded one PGA TOUR victory — the 1996 Greater Vancouver Open — and a trio of Nationwide Tour victories.

24. Grant Waite. The New Zealander has surfaced a few times in recent PGA TOUR lore. For one, Waite shot a 60 in the final round of the 1996 Phoenix Open, the second-lowest final-round effort in TOUR history. Then, in 2000, Waite finished a shot behind winner Tiger Woods at the Bell Canadian Open when Woods hit his famous 6-iron from 213 yards out of a fairway bunker to the green on the 72nd hole.

25. Garth Mulroy. Before joining the Nationwide Tour as a full-time member in 2007, Mulroy captured one of the biggest non-sanctioned events ever when he teamed with David Ping to win a $3 million prize at the Big Stakes Match Play Championship in 2005. A native of Durban, South Africa, Mulroy starred on his native country’s Sunshine Tour last year to earn a spot at this year’s WGC-CA Championship.
