Sam Snead left us in 2002, but his legend and what he did for golf will live on forever.
With a record 82 wins, he was long known for his smooth, rhythmic swing and "one of the most fluid motions ever to grace a golf course.”
This is one of the key records Tiger has been chasing for quite some time. Tiger needs just one little win to take the record. He doesn't have to win a major, just one PGA tour event!
Although Snead won 7 majors including 3 Masters tournaments and set many records, his greatest regret was never winning the U.S. Open.
Many regarded him as the undisputed champion of ageless golf.
While it is
widely known that with age comes a loss in flexibility, Sam was one of the most flexible golfers who ever played the game.
And, not just compared to the old guys either.
His flexibility was more impressive than many golfers less than half his age. Snead
had a record 17 wins after the age of 40.
