FameRank: 5

"Anders Rosenberg Hansen" is a Denmark/Danish professional golfer.

Hansen was born in Sønderborg, Denmark. He turned professional in 1995. It took him a few years to establish himself on the European Tour, with his first top 116 Order of Merit finish (the level a player requires to automatically regain his card) coming in 1999.

His maiden European Tour victory was the 2002 Volvo PGA Championship and he finished in the top 60 on the Order of Merit every year from 2000 to 2012, with a best of seventh in 2011. He has featured in the top 25 of the Official World Golf Ranking and has been the highest ranked Danish golfer.

Hansen represented Denmark in the WGC-World Cup in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 Omega Mission Hills World Cup/2007.

Hansen had six top 10's in 2006 including a 3rd at the Dubai Desert Classic, playing the two final days in the leaderball with Tiger Woods and Retief Goosen, and a second at the Italian Open (golf)/Italian Open for the second straight year.

Hansen qualified for the PGA Tour for 2007, capturing the fourth available spot, eight strokes off the winner, George McNeill, but failed to maintain his playing rights at the end of the season.

I was grinning and laughing on 14 and my caddie asked me why, and I wouldn't tell him. I just felt I couldn't go wrong and that feeling is such a good feeling. I wish I could have that every day. All of a sudden today, everything seemed to go in.

I shot a 3-under today, I didn't play that great, but I kept things together. I thought it was pretty tough out there - the wind was swirling around and the greens were a bit firmer than they were the other day.

I'm proud of what I did today. I played my own game, I played within myself and worked really hard on that.

He's probably going to say he didn't have his 'A' game, but he still got around in 67 and just showed class.
