My Take
Mark Calcavecchia is the kind of golfer I quietly admire more than the flashier names. Thirteen PGA Tour wins is a serious career on its own, but it is the 1989 Open Championship that earns him a permanent spot in my book. Winning a major means holding your nerve when the pressure is at its absolute heaviest, and he did it. What I respect most, though, is that he kept competing into the Champions Tour years rather than coasting on past glory. That steady, unglamorous love of the craft, decade after decade, is the mark of a genuine professional.
