Ben Daniel Crenshaw
(born January 11, 1952) is a retired American professional
golfer
who has won 19 events on the
PGA Tour
, including two
major championships
: the
Masters Tournament
in 1984 and 1995. He is nicknamed
Gentle Ben
.
Ernest Joseph (E. J.) "Dutch" Harrison
(March 29, 1910 – June 19, 1982) was an American
professional golfer
whose career spanned over four decades—one of the longest in the history of the
PGA Tour
.
Born in
Conway, Arkansas
and nicknamed "The Arkansas Traveler", Harrison turned pro in 1930 at the start of the
Great Depression
. Although he played in what tournaments existed in those days, the mainstay of his income was the many exhibitions and private "money" matches in which he, as well as many of his fellow professionals, played.
Harrison had a total of 18 career victories spanning from the 1939
Bing Crosby Pro-Am
to the 1958
Tijuana Open Invitational
. However, as late as
1969
, Harrison had a top-25 finish in the
Canadian Open
at the age of 59. He played on three
Ryder Cup
teams:
1947
,
1949
, and
1951
.
Martin Alan Fleckman
(born April 23, 1944) is an American
professional golfer
who played on the
PGA Tour
in the 1960s and 1970s. Born in
Port Arthur, Texas
, Fleckman credits
Byron Nelson
, Carl Lohren, and Jim Hardy with teaching him how to play
golf
. At the age of 20 in 1964, Fleckman won the individual title at the Texas State Amateur. In 1965, he won the
NCAA Championship
while at the
University of Houston
,
[2]
where he was a three-time
All-American
member of the golf team: third-team in 1964, first-team in 1965 and 1966. He was a member of the
Walker Cup
team in 1967. While still an amateur, Fleckman played in the
U.S. Open
at
Baltusrol
in
1967
. He led after the first and third rounds, but shot 80 (+10) on Sunday amid a surge by eventual champion
Jack Nicklaus
. The last amateur to lead the U.S. Open at 54 holes was
Johnny Goodman
, 34 years earlier in
1933
. (Seven years earlier in
1960
, Nicklaus led as an amateur during the final round.) Fleckman finished in a tie for 18th place and was the low amateur, a stroke ahead of
Bob Murphy
, who shot 69 in the final round.
In his first start on the PGA Tour in December
1967
, Fleckman won the
Cajun Classic Open Invitational
in a playoff. At Oakbourne Country Club in
Lafayette, Louisiana
, he sank a 30-foot (9 m) birdie putt on the first extra hole to defeat Jack Montgomery and take the winner's share of
$
5,000. It was his third consecutive birdie, finishing regulation play with two. Fleckman is only one of four other players to win his first tour event, and has since been joined by
Ben Crenshaw
(1973)
,
Robert Gamez
(1990)
, and
Garrett Willis
(2001)
. His best finish in a
major
was a tie for fourth at the
PGA Championship
in
1968
.
