FameRank: 4

"Jamie Spence" is an England/English professional golfer.

Spence was born in Royal Tunbridge Wells/Tunbridge Wells, Kent. He turned professional in 1985 and has finished in the top 100 on the European Tour Order of Merit more than a dozen times, with a best placing of tenth in 1992. His two European Tour wins came at the 1992 Canon European Masters and the 2000 Moroccan Open.

In 2003 he succeeded Mark James (golfer)/Mark James as the Chairman of The European Tour's Tournament Committee.

Spence also appeared on the British Sky Broadcasting/Sky TV scientific programme Brainiac: Science Abuse where he took part in "Brainiac Golf", in which a Brainiac went head to head against Spence. Every time a ball was putted it set off a fuse which ignited a caravan filled with a unique chemical compound, e.g. lead nitrate, which coloured the explosive flame.

Spence also has a radio show named in his honour, 'The Jamie Spence Show' on Bolton FM.

The Americans seem to be getting more insular every year.

I warned the guys to bring sandwiches and candles, this is going to be a long session.

Colin didn't know the position of his ball well enough at the time (in Indonesia). I think he was angry and wanted to go in and complain. He felt (because of the lightning) he should have been called in earlier.

You cannot disqualify somebody after the event, nor can he disqualify himself and give back his world ranking points.
