Trevino, Lee





Bio:
Lee Trevino was a caddie, driving-range handyman and municipal golf course "hustler" before he turned to professional golf. Once on the tour, he quickly established himself with a victory at the 1968 U.S. Open at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York. He won his second U.S. Open in 1971 at the Merion Golf Club’s East Course in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Trevino also has two British Open titles (1971, 1972) to go along with his 27 PGA Tour victories. A major back problem slowed him down from 1975 to 1977, but he regained his prominence by winning the 1984 PGA, his sixth major title. Since he turned 50 in 1989, Trevino has 29 Senior PGA Tour victories including the 1990 U.S. Senior Open. He was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 1974.
