Remember Arjun Atwal? He's the Indian golfer who showed his talent for the game in 2006 on the pga tour. In fact, he was the first Indian golfer to ever qualify for the PGA Tour even though he'd been a regular on the European PGA Tour.

But that hard-earned success came at a cost last March when Atwal was involved in a horrific late-night car accident that left one driver dead.



Atwal was investigated by police after the accident outside Orlando. They were considering various charges, the least of which would have been "engaging in a street race".

It's taken a full year to complete the investigation and the news for the Indian player is good: he has been cleared.

With that weight off his shoulders, Atwal is back. The aftermath of the accident along with a bad back kept him off the PGA Tour last season; consequently, he lost his playing privileges and spent 2007 on the Nationwide.

But he has the skills to play at the top level and I wouldn't be surprised to see him back on the PGA Tour for next season.
