Victor Dubuisson is one of my top 5 favorite golfers. Yet it is difficult to find much information about his past. Here is a great article that sheds just a little bit of light on why he is the way he is. It's a 6 month old article, but a good one.

International man of mystery: Rising star Dubuisson driven by childhood agony

This thread may also become a bit of a fan page for him. I expect him to win a boatload of tournaments before his career is over. Viva la Victor.

Another article where his Ryder Cup teammates shed just a little light on what it's like to be around him.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Victor had an excellent final round yesterday at the European Tour's Perth International. He finished solo second...but still 3 strokes behind Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen. Many of you may remember Thorbjorn getting a ton of airtime at the PGA Championship.

Another good placing for Victor, he moves to 20th in the world rankings.

Here he is with Charl S. enjoying a brew and a gorgeous Aussie beach over the weekend.

Is Victor Dubuisson hurt again. He shot an 85 in his last round at the WGC and hasn't been heard from since on either tour??

I don't know what happened to him, more mystery.

He seems to be back in form however as he's shot a 67 & 68 in the first 2 rounds of the Shell Houston Open. Here's to hoping for a good finish and a great Masters.

Well not a good showing again at the Masters. He doesn't appear to even be trying to make the minimum 15 events on the tour for 2015 on the first full year of his tour card? It is so hard to get any info on him. He hasn't posted to Twitter since the Ryder cup and has no web site that I can find. Truly, a Man of Mystery!!

Probrabably the only Frenchman I could ever tolerate.

Mmmm not sure if trolling or just plain racist, anyway...

As for VD he seems borderline Asperger syndrome, really an interesting golfer for sure. As for stars fleeing France's tax system, we even had Depardieu being granted russian's citizenship!!

French is a race now? And you accuse an introvert of Asperger syndrome?

But, be easy on Chris P. He's probably never been to France, and if he did he was probably pissed off at the service. Foxnews has alot of influence.

Yeah racist is probably not the appropriate word but you get my drift. France is so multi cultural that saying one doesnt like French is like saying one doesnt like cheese, there are so many sorts... (See what I did there?) As for Aperger, i remenber reading that a lot of succesful athletes have a form of that condition, Lionel Messi for example is rumored to have it. VD exhibits lots of the symptoms, but i'm merely exercising my right to make totally unverifiable assumptions here :-D

Yes, VD exhibits alot of symptoms. So does Victor Dubuisson.
