Player Notes: Crenshaw had an outstanding amateur career, winning nearly every possible title with the notable exception of the U.S. Amateur. He won the NCAA Championship three straight years for the University of Texas, sharing the title in 1972 with teammate Tom Kite. . . On turning pro in 1973, Crenshaw earned his Tour card, gaining medalist honors at Qualifying School by an incredible 12 strokes over runner-up Gil Morgan. He made history when he won the San Antonio-Texas Open in his first start as a member of the PGA Tour. On his second start he was runner-up. Crenshaw has a well-known passion for the history of the game, and is considered by many as one of the greatest putters in history. He has won 19 times, and holds the dubious distinction of having the worst playoff record on Tour, winning none and losing eight. . . Two of the best moments in his career came at Augusta National, winning the Masters in 1984 by two strokes over Tom Watson, and then winning again in 1995, a week after the death of his beloved teacher, Harvey Penick. . . Months after his Masters win in '84 Crenshaw began suffering from a hyperactive thyroid, and his play in 1985 showed the effects of the illness, as he fell to 149 on the money list. With the condition under control by 1986, Crenshaw would win twice that year, and once each in '87 and '88. . . Member of 1981, '83, '87 and '95 Ryder Cup Team. . .
