Jeffrey Laurence Overton (born May 28, 1983) is an American professional golfer. Overton was born in Evansville, Indiana; he graduated from Evansville North High School, leading the Huskies to two State Golf Finals; he finished as State Runner-Up in 1999 (as a sophomore) and then led the Huskies to the State Championship in 2000 as a Junior.〔http://www.ihsaa.org/Sports/Boys/Golf/TeamStateChampions/tabid/212/Default.aspx#2233912-teams〕 He attended Indiana University, graduating in 2005 with a degree in Sports Marketing and Management. Turning pro in 2005, he is currently a member of the PGA Tour. He graduated from Q-School in his first attempt and started to play on the Tour in 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jeff Overton – Profile )〕 In 2006, he scored a double eagle (albatross) on the 18th hole at Westchester Country Club during the Barclays Classic as he holed a fairway wood from 239 yards after a 294-yard drive. During the final PGA Tour event of 2008, the Children's Miracle Network Classic, Overton was ten days removed from an appendectomy and was ranked 125th, barely hanging on to a full-season exemption. A 21st-place finish moved him up to 118th and he retained his card for 2009. After improving to 76th in 2009, Overton's 2010 season included three seconds, two thirds, and 11th at the 2010 Open Championship. He ended 2010 in 12th place on the PGA Tour money list.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2010 Money Leaders )〕 His best finish on Tour are four 2nd-place finishes; in 2007, he tied for 2nd at the Wyndham Championship, and in 2010, he finished 2nd at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the HP Byron Nelson Championship and the inaugural Greenbrier Classic. In the Greenbrier, he held a three-shot lead after 54 holes but could not withstand an amazing 4th round by Stuart Appleby, who shot a round of 59 to win his 9th PGA Tour event. Following this tournament Overton reached the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time. His strong 2010 season earned him a place on the United States Ryder Cup team; he and teammate Rickie Fowler became the first-ever Americans to make the team without a victory on the PGA Tour. In 2015, Overton barely retained his PGA Tour card, finishing 125th in the FedEx Cup. ==Amateur wins (3)== *2003 Indiana Amateur *2004 Indiana Amateur *2005 Big Ten Conference Champion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeff Overton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
