Information
about this Pga Golfer from Wikepedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Littler
"Gene Alec Littler (born July 21, 1930) is an
American golfer. He had a solid temperament and was nicknamed "Gene
the Machine" on account of his smooth rhythmical swing. He believed
that, "Golf is not a game of great shots. It's a game of the most
misses. The people who win make the smallest mistakes."Littler
was born in San Diego, California. A graduate of San Diego State University,
he was one of the first of a new breed of college-educated golfers who
turned professional after graduation.Littler played in the 1953 United
States Walker Cup team, and won the U.S. Amateur Championship in the
same year. In 1954 he won a PGA Tour event as an amateur, an achievement
which was not to be repeated until Scott Verplank won the Western Open
in 1985. He also finished runner up at the 1954 U.S. Open. Littler turned
professional later in 1954. In 1955 he won four times on the Tour, but
by 1958 he was in a slump. After taking advice from Paul Runyan he recovered
in 1959 to have his winningmost year with five PGA Tour victories. He
finished second on the money list that year, which was to remain his
best career placing. He was stricken with cancer of the lymph system
in 1972, but came back to win five more times on the PGA Tour. He won
29 times on the PGA Tour in total and he also won two tournaments in
Japan and one in Australia.Littler's only major championship title was
the 1961 U.S. Open. He shot a 68 in the final round to overtake Doug
Sanders. He accumulated seventeen top ten finishes in the three U.S.
based majors: seven at The Masters Tournament, five at the PGA Championship,
and five at the U.S. Open. In addition to his U.S. Open victory he had
one second place in each of the three U.S. majors, losing playoffs to
Billy Casper at the 1970 Masters and to Lanny Wadkins at the 1977 PGA
Championship. The latter was the first ever sudden death playoff in
a major. He was a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup teams of 1961, 1963,
1965, 1967, 1969, 1971 and 1975 and had a 14-5-8 win/loss/tie record
including 5 wins and 3 ties in 10 singles matches.

NOTE
FROM AESTHETICS_48:
I
sell a lot of used, older and garage sale items. Items which, often
times, have been in someone's attic or basement for a long time. On
occasion I, also, sell items for friends. I try to describe items as
best as I can but I do not scrutinize their life styles to find out
if they smoke now or quit 10 years ago. Paper and cardboard items can
hold noxious odors for a long time. I simply take the item, try to clean
it without damaging it and list it for them or myself. Also, I am the
proud owner of two Cats. It is quite possible that a wayward cat hair
or dander might come into contact with an item I might be selling or
packing. So, if you have an aversion to the above PLEASE DO NOT BID
on my auctions.
Thank
you for stopping by and do check my other auctions if you have time.
Have a great day!
