In the 1999 Walker Cup at Nairn, Scotland Paul teamed up with Luke Donald to win
both foursome matches. They also won their singles matches becoming the only
GB & I players other than Andrew Oldcorn in 1983 to post 4-0 records.

As a boy Paul lived in Weybridge in Surrey and started his golf at Burhill when he was invited to join the Foxhills Golf Foundation programme. He had a fantastic amateur career, winning back-to back English Amateurs in 1999 and 2000. In 1999 he was a member of GB & I’s Walker Cup team, where he was only the third player in 77 years to record 4 victories without a single defeat.

In the USA Paul was the first player to win 3 consecutive Pac-10 Championships (1998, 1999 and 2000) breaking the championship scoring record held by Tiger Woods (-18) with a -23 in 2000.
