"Richard Michael Beem" is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

Beem was born in Phoenix, Arizona, grew up in El Paso, Texas, and played college golf at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico/Las Cruces.

Beem turned professional in 1994. His early career was broken up by a spell in Seattle selling car stereos and cell phones. He later regained interest after J. P. Hayes won the 1998 Buick Classic [http://www.pgatour.com/players/r/?/02/36/14/media].

This changed in 1999 PGA Tour/1999 when Beem won the Kemper Open as a rookie. His career took a further leap forward in 2002 PGA Tour/2002 with a victory at the The International (golf)/The International in Castle Rock, Colorado.

If he had said, 'No, let's pack it in for the year,' I would have said, 'That sounds good to me.' But I'm happy we both decided to hop on that Southwest flight out here Tuesday morning.

My best finishes this year have been rain delays. I'm just hoping that Mother Nature is a real ornery (woman) tonight.

You always expect him up there. You see his name and you expect him up there. I mean, the guy is a phenomenal talent, swing changes, everything that he does with the golf club and golf ball are pretty amazing. You just kind of hope you catch him on an off week somewhere.

Guys skipping this event to go prepare for next week -- are you kidding? This is the perfect course to set up for Augusta.
