Shiv Kapur is this year's mystery golfer
Aug. 29, 2006

No one would have stopped Shiv Kapur for an autograph if not for the golf shoes on his feet and the caddie at his side as he walked toward the practice range at Firestone. Even some of the players at the Bridgestone Invitational wondered who he was. Instead of checking out his swing — a dead giveaway that Kapur was a player — they looked on his bag for a name. That didn''t help, either. Kapur is a 24-year-old from New Delhi, polished and polite. He plays primarily on the Asian Tour, where his victory late last year in the Volvo Masters made him eligible for a World Golf Championship that included 48 of the top 50 in the world. He checked in at No. 192. But it's players like Kapur who make these different from run-of-the-mill PGA Tour events.
