David Carter (golfer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Carter (born 16 June 1972) is an English golfer.
He turned professional in 1989 and after several visits to Qualifying School had his rookie season on the European Tour in 1995. His best season was 1998, when he won the Murphy's Irish Open, which remains his only official money victory on the tour, and finished 19th on the Order of Merit. However he is probably best known for winning that year's World Cup for England in partnership with Nick Faldo. He also won the 1996 Indian PGA Championship.
In March 1997 Carter almost lost his life when he required emergency brain surgery after collapsing in his hotel in Dubai.
