My Take
Ben Crenshaw is the golfer I'd point to when explaining that the sport is as much temperament as technique. The nickname Gentle Ben fits him perfectly: a Texan craftsman whose putting touch felt almost meditative rather than forced. Two Masters titles and a Hall of Fame berth are the headlines, but his emotional 1995 win, just after losing his mentor, is what stays with me. That was a man playing from the heart, not the scorecard. I admire athletes who win with feel and grace instead of brute power, and Crenshaw remains my model of the thinking, soulful competitor.
