Apr 24, 2018, 12:00 AM

Scott Hend has had a lifetime of travels. As a young lad, he moved from town to town with his father working in the air force. This is the journey of a highly talented golfer who refused to crumble after being rejected by one of Australia's best known coaches, when he was just a teenager.

A golfer who made it onto the PGA Tour, only to suffer from injury, health issues and a renowned temper. But a player who was determined to make it, becoming the first Australian to win the Asian Tour Order of Merit and winning his first European Tour title at the age of 41 at the Hong Kong Open.
