Davis Love III

Davis Love III strikes me as the quiet kind of great. A PGA Tour winner 21 times over, with the 1997 PGA Championship and a world ranking that peaked at second, he had the game to match anyone. Yet what impresses me most is the durability: more than 450 weeks inside the world top ten is a testament to consistency, not just flashes of brilliance. Being chosen to captain the U.S. Ryder Cup team twice says plenty about how peers regarded his judgment and character. That he later turned to golf course architecture suggests a man who loves the game beyond his own scorecard. Easy to root for.
