BYRON NELSON (1912-2006) was called a "mechanical" golfer because his
play was so consistent. Nelson, who won the Masters in 1937 and 1942, the
U.S. Open in 1939 and the PGA Championship in 1940 and 1945,
won a record 11 consecutive golf tournaments in 1945. He was elected to
the PGA Hall of Fame in 1953 and the World Golf Hall of Fame in
1974. Golf champion TOM WATSON (b. 1949), who graduated from Stanford
University in 1971 with a degree in psychology, joined the Professional Golfers
Association tour in 1972. Named PGA Player of the Year six times, he won
39 PGA tournaments (1974-1998), including eight majors, before joining
the PGA Senior (now Champions) Tour. Watson's wins include Masters titles
in 1977 and 1981, the PGA Championship in 1980 and 1984, the U.S.
Open in 1982 and the World Series of Golf in 1980. A five-time
winner of the British Open (1975, 1977, 1980, 1982, 1983) and two-time
winner of the Senior British Open, he was made an honorary member of the
Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews in 1999. Watson was the
leading money winner on the PGA tour from 1977-1980 and again in 1984.
Australian golfer DAVID GRAHAM (b. 1946) turned pro in 1962 and
joined the U.S. Tour in 1971. His victories include the PGA Championship
(1979) and the U.S. Open (1981) as well as the Cleveland Open
(1972), American Express Westchester Classic (1976), American Golf
Classic (1976) and the Australian Open (1977). Graham, who also won
the World Match play at Wentworth, has had five victories on the
Champions Tour. LANNY WADKINS (b. 1949) is an American golfer. Even
before Wadkins went pro in 1971, he'd compiled an impressive list of victories
and honors, winning the Southern Amateur (1968, 1970), the Eastern
Amateur (1969, 1970) and the U. S. Amateur (1970) and being named an
NCAA All-American twice (1970, 1971). Known for his competitiveness and
iron work on the course, Wadkins has won 30 professional tournaments, including
the 1977 PGA Championship. He also played on the Ryder Cup's American
team eight times between 1977 and 1993, winning five times, and was captain in
1995. Fine condition.
