Lance Ten Broeck

Ten Broeck was born in Chicago and grew up in Beverly, Illinois, a community on the southwest side. He attended the University of Texas and was a member of the golf team from 1975 to 1976. He was a two-time All-America selection and winner of the Massengill Trophy in 1975. He turned professional in 1977.
Broeck played in 355 PGA Tour events in his career, making the cut 162 times and added 11 top-10 finishes. His best finish in an official PGA Tour event was a stand-alone second in the 1991 Chattanooga Classic, he was 2 shots back of winner Dillard Pruitt. His best finish in a major was a T-31st in the 1991 U.S. Open. He won the 1984 Magnolia State Classic before that tournament became an official PGA Tour event.
After his playing days were over, he began work as a caddie. His clients have included several big-name players, notably Robert Allenby and Jesper Parnevik. Since he made more than 150 cuts in his career on the PGA Tour, Broeck is exempt from qualifying, although near the bottom of the list in eligibility. He frequently commits to playing in events in which he is scheduled to caddie, just in case the unlikely happens and more players drop out than there are alternates at the course. In 2008, he returned to the PGA Tour for the first time since 1998 in the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open, a tournament played opposite the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. In May 2009, he caddied for Jesper Parnevik and also played in the Valero Texas Open, where he missed the cut but finished ahead of Parnevik. He attempted to repeat the feat in February 2010 at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun. He caddied for Richard S. Johnson in the morning then played in the afternoon (replacing Notah Begay III). After shooting 5-over-par, he withdrew from playing the second round.
Broeck says that he has earned more in his best season working as a caddie ($235,000) than in his best season as a player ($146,568 in 1989).
Began playing on the PGA Tour Champions in 2008, entering just one event in both '08 and '09. Entered two events in 2010 and his best finish was a T-29th at the Home Care & Hospice First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. Did not play in 2011, but entered seven events in 2012, recording one top-10 finish, a T-9th at the U.S. Senior Open. Also added one additional top-25 finish, a T-16th at the 3M Championship.
