OAKMONT, Pa. — Aaron Baddeley believes he'll be the best player in the world in 5 to 10 years. To most golf fans, that probably seems a bit egotistical. Just look at the stats.

Actually, Baddeley is looking more mature all the time. This year, he rose from 90th in the world rankings to his current position of 19th. He ... ended up sixth in the final FedEx Cup standings, and currently in 10th place on the money list with a career-best $3,441,119 – or almost $2 million more than he’s ever made in a single season.

Baddeley grew up in the US where his father Ron worked as chief mechanic for legendary US racer Mario Andretti, an ex-Formula One world champion. The family moved back to Australia shortly before Aaron’s third birthday and he was introduced to golf by his grandmother Jean Baddeley at the age of eight and began playing junior events at 13. At 17 he finished runner-up to Adam Scott in the Australian Junior Championship and the following year took out the Victorian Amateur Championship. The young Victorian’s amateur days were quickly running down ... as he was about to spring the biggest surprise of all.
