Bernhard's Golf Swing Highlights
Bernhard is one of the most consistent and resilient professionals in golf. Conquered adversity in the form of the putting 'yips' to reach the top, and has stayed in the top echelons of the game for over 20 years. Since 1980, he has only been out the top 30 in the Volvo Order of Merit once in 1996. Bernhard's Czech-born father settled in Bavaria after jumping a Russian prisoner-of-war train bound for Siberia. Bernhard took up golf at age seven through caddieing and turned professional at 18. He won 41 times in Europe, the last six with the broom handle putter he started using towards end of 1996. A devout Christian, he helps organise the regular meetings of the Tour Bible Class. Won his 40th European Tour title when he took The TNT Open at Noordwijkse in July, 2001 beating Warren Bennett in a play-off and won a second title of the year when he won the Linde German Masters, the tournament he co-promotes with this brother Erwin, for a fourth time. It was his 11th victory on home soil. You can vist Bernhard's website at www.bernhardlanger.de
