Jordan Smith | Rookie success story
In his rookie year on the European Tour, Jordan achieved his first victory, in the Porsche European Open, and finished his campaign 24th in the Race to Dubai.
The following year he proved his talent wasn’t a bluff when he completed the 2018 season with four top-10s, highlighted by a share of third place at the Volvo China Open. The 26-year-old is now 121st in the Official World Golf Ranking.
“Jordan progressed through the tours and neither of us ever sat down and said: ‘We want to get onto the European Tour,’ or be a top amateur.’ “It just happened!
One of our strengths was that we took each of his achievements a step at a time. Before you knew it, we were at the Walker Cup.
Once we got there, we were thinking, what’s next? EuroPro, Challenge Tour, European Tour…”

Eddie Pepperell | Why Shanksey …
Last season, Shanks turned his coaching attention to one of golf’s most talented yet outspoken players, Eddie Pepperell, who had lost his European Tour card in 2016 but won it back via Q-School. However, he was still seeking his first win on Tour and his driver had been letting him down for a number of years.
Pepperell went on that season to earn numerous top-10s, including a sixth place finish at The Open, and then picked up a second win at the Sky Sports British Masters with Smith two places behind.
Pepperell has climbed to 36th in the world after his superb tied-third finish in the Players Championship, whereas he was 154th a year ago before his partnership with Shanksy began.
