- Ben Hogan concentrated
- so hard on his golf game
- that he sometimes
- wouldnΓÇÖt even talk to his
- playing partner. He was
- determined to win and he very often did. Ben
- won 63 tournament titles during his career to
- rank third best on the Professional Golfers
- Association (PGA) all-time list.
-
- Between the years 1948 and 1953, Ben won
- eight major tournaments: the U.S. Open four
- times, the Masters tournament twice, and the
- British Open and the PGA Championship
- one time each. His record sounds even
- more amazing when we learn that in 1949,
- Ben was nearly killed when a bus hit the
- car he was driving head-on! He missed
- an entire year while recovering.
