B/w, 10x8 overall, image 9½x7 (one surface). GENE SARAZEN (1902-1999) won
two U.S. Opens, three PGA titles (including the first two, 1922-1923), one
Masters and one British Open. He is one of only five golfers to win all four
major golf tournaments. He won the 1935 Masters with the most famous shot
in golf history, holing his second shot from 220 yards out for a double
eagle on Augusta's par 5 fifteenth hole. He scored a hole-in-one in the British
Open at the age of 71. In later years he was a popular golf commentator. KEN
VENTURI (born in 1931), who nearly won the Masters while still an amateur in
1956, is best known for winning the U.S. Open in 1964, making a
remarkable comeback after battling both physical problems and a career
slump. That year, Venturi won the PGA Player of the Year award, played on
the Ryder Cup Team and was named "Sportsman of the Year" by
"Sports Illustrated". Forced to retire from the PGA tour at the age of 33 due to
severe carpal tunnel syndrome, Venturi was a CBS golf analyst for more
than a quarter of the century ("Golf Digest" called him the nation's top golf
commentator). Venturi was also honored as the 1998 Ambassador of Golf
and was President's Cup Captain in 2000. The writer of a number of
instructional articles and books on the sport, he has also established a number
of golf academies across the U.S. Fine condition.
