Northern Irish champion who won the 2010 US Open at Pebble Beach to become his country's first major winner since Fred Daly in 1947, a popular and technically sound performer throughout his career.
Graeme McDowell is a Northern Irish golfer who became the first European to win the US Open in 40 years at Pebble Beach in 2010. His iconic holed putt to secure the Ryder Cup for Europe at Celtic Manor in the same year made him a beloved figure in European golf. Known as 'G-Mac' and for his friendly demeanour, McDowell has been one of Europe's most reliable Ryder Cup performers. McDowell's 2010 US Open triumph made him the first European winner of the championship since Tony Jacklin in 1970, and his clinching putt at Celtic Manor months later remains one of the enduring images of European Ryder Cup history.
