FameRank: 4

"Bob Alan Estes" is an American professional golfer.

Estes was born in Graham, Texas and raised in Abilene, Texas. He first played golf at age 4 and decided to become a professional golfer at age 12. Estes attended the University of Texas at Austin/University of Texas from 1984 to 1988 and was a member of the golf team. He won the 1988 Haskins Award for most outstanding collegiate golfer in the nation.

Estes had four PGA Tour victories between 1994 and 2002, and he has been in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking. He is particularly well known for his excellent short game. Estes follows a strict physical conditioning routine that includes weightlifting, agility exercises, diet and short-distance wind sprints. In addition, he has experimented with the 10-finger grip, which is rare in the modern game of golf.

In 2011, Estes was recovering from a wrist injury, but still managed to make 12 starts on the PGA Tour. Of the five cuts he made, one was a near-win at the Greenbrier Classic, where he lost in a playoff. Estes is 0-4 in PGA Tour playoffs. He still managed to finish 135th on the Tour's money list, but regained his Tour card through Q School and satisfied a medical extension.

Everybody who lives here loves Cocoa Beach, but I think they'd like to see downtown a little nicer.

I definitely felt like I could win it, but of course a lot of that had to do with what Stuart was going to do.

That's probably the best shot I hit all day. All I was trying to do was get it anywhere on the green.

It's just so spread out, the rounds were really long, and that's the downside of it.
