About Nick Price - continue

It was a slow, upward battle, an interior fight fueled by his intense desire to become the game’s number one player.  Having crafted one of the most fundamentally sound golf swings in the game, Price was rewarded for his hard work.  In 1991 he won the Byron Nelson Classic and the Canadian Open.  Then from his breakthrough victory at the 1992 PGA Championship through the 1994 season Nick Price dominated international golf.  In 1993 he won four PGA Tour events, including The Players Championship, and was named PGA Tour Player of the Year.  Price then turned in one of the greatest seasons in 1994, winning six times, including the British Open and PGA Championship and was again named Player of the Year.

The Zimbabwean has been a dominant force worldwide and is commonly regarded as one of the kindest people in the game.  The loss of his longtime caddie and friend Jeff “Squeaky” Medlin was powerfully felt by Price and others in golf.

Price has now tallied 18 PGA Tour victories and 24 international wins.  He finished in the top 50 on the money list for 17 consecutive seasons.
