Furyk's impressive 30-plus year playing career is punctuated by his 2003 U.S. Open Championship victory at Olympia Fields. Furyk was also named the PGA TOUR Player of the Year and was the FedExCup Champion in 2010. He is also the only player in PGA TOUR history to have shot under 60 twice and the only player to have shot 58.
