GARY CORNELIUS
Handicap: 26.0
Flashback to 2015: no one who witnessed the utter bomb scare that Gary became on the Saturday night in Valle de Este could believe the Sunday performance he managed to muster up to take home the Quaich. Maybe he needs to have a heavier Saturday night more often to regain that winning form.
Unfortunately, Gary holds the illustrious title of the original Champ to Chump, following up his success by taking the Green Jacket just a year later. Since his title win, Gary has struggled to do anything other than prop up the table and has taken the green jacket home on a few occasions now.
After more solid showings at Wokefield and Heron's Reach, Gaz had his best showing yet in The Rider Cup at Forest Pines, remaining unbeaten across the weekend and delivering 2.5 out of 3 for Kenmore.
The younger Cornelius brother then captained the side in 2025 at Belton Woods, as Kenmore were beaten for the first time.
