"Ryan Hunter Palmer" is an United States/American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

Palmer was born in Amarillo, Texas. He played college golf at the University of North Texas (one year) and then at Texas A&M University (three years). He graduated in 2000 and turned professional. In his early professional career, Palmer played on the mini-tours (Tightlies Tour and Hooters Tour) from 2000 to 2002. He played the Nationwide Tour in 2003, winning the Clearwater Classic and finishing 6th on the money list to earn his 2004 PGA Tour card.

Palmer's first career PGA Tour win came at the 2004 FUNAI Classic at the Walt Disney World Resort, with a three stroke victory over Briny Baird and Vijay Singh. Four years later, he earned his second career win during the PGA Tour Fall Series, at the 2008 Ginn sur Mer Classic where wet, rainy conditions made the course play tough all week. He won by making a ten foot putt for birdie on the final hole on Sunday to finish seven under par and win by one stroke over five players. He was 143rd on the money list entering the week, but this win secured his playing status on Tour for 2009 and 2010.

In January 2010, Palmer won his third career PGA Tour title at the Sony Open in Hawaii. A final round 66 secured his victory by one stroke over Robert Allenby.

I've been through it. I've won on every level, so I knew I could come in here and do it.

He just said, 'Great tournament,' ... I knew he was upset.

They're like new greens ? they're not thick underneath, so in the afternoon, you can get some bumpy putts.

To come back to a golf course you shoot 21-under-par on, you have a good feeling. Remembering some things that happened last year, I'm looking forward to it.

Tonight we're going to empty that Hess station again.

He goes at a lot of pins too. We also took the same route to get here.

I hope he does. He's too good a player to be going through this. He just needs to catch a break.

I said, 'Wow, what an unbelievable shot,' ... Then my caddie looks at me and says, 'Yeah, but it was his third.'
