Amateur career

Hughes was born in Melbourne. As an amateur golfer, he won the 1987 and 1988 Victorian Amateur Championship, the 1988 New Zealand Amateur and represented Australia in several competitions including the 1988 Eisenhower Trophy.

Professional career

Hughes turned professional in October 1988. He finished in 7th place at his first event, the Tasmanian Open, 12th place in his second event, the New South Wales Open, and then took the title in his third event, the Western Australian Open.[ citation needed ]

He has played on the PGA Tour of Australasia (1988–), European Tour (1990, 1996), Japan Golf Tour (1992–1994), PGA Tour (1997–2002, 2005) and Nationwide Tours (2003–2004, 2006). He participated in the 1994 Presidents Cup for the international team; he was a last-minute replacement for Greg Norman. Hughes remains the lowest-ranked player ever to compete in the Presidents Cup, 117th at the time of selection. [2]

Hughes quit playing competitive golf near the end of 2008 and now teaches at Holly Tree CC in Greenville, South Carolina. He has been credited with helping the resurgence of Brendon Todd on the PGA Tour. He also coaches Brandt Snedeker, Harold Varner III, Cameron Percy, Greg Chalmers, Ben Martin, Robert Allenby and Ollie Schniederjans as well as a host of mini-tour players.[ citation needed ]
