My Take

Lee Janzen earns my quiet respect. Born in Austin, Minnesota, he won the U.S. Open twice, in 1993 and 1998, and racked up eight PGA Tour titles, a record that is anything but ordinary. His comeback at Olympic Club in 1998 is the stuff of major-championship lore. He played in an era that did not anoint him a superstar, yet he kept delivering when it mattered with the unfussy discipline I associate with his craftsmanlike streak. That he still competes on the senior tour speaks to a lifelong love of the game. I am drawn to athletes who are quietly, durably great.
