Inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1989. Enjoyed great success around the world, with more than 100 international victories and well over 200 total career wins. Probably his greatest triumph came in 1967 when he won the British Open at Hoylake by two strokes over Jack Nicklaus. Won four times on the PGA TOUR, the last coming at the 1968 Houston Champions by one stroke over Lee Trevino. The win came just three weeks after he signed an incorrect scorecard at the Masters, voiding an apparent tie with Bob Goalby. Posted two wins on the Champions Tour in 84 appearances, including the inaugural U.S. Senior Open in 1980 at Winged Foot where he was a four-stroke victor over William Campbell. Teamed with Julius Boros to win the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf in 1979. Again won the event in 1983, with Rod Funseth. Represented Argentina in the World Cup 17 times and won the individual title in 1969 and 1972. Teamed with Antonio Cerda to win the team crown in 1953. |
