Lee Trevino

in the Western Open, Trevino was struck by lightning - a freak accident that permanently damaged the flexibility and sensitivity of his lower back's vertebrae. A series of painful operations enabled Trevino to renew his game. He adjusted his playing habits to accommodate his unfortunate disability, and, within two years, Trevino scored an impressive victory in the Canadian Open (a feat he would repeat in 1979) and later stunned the golfing world when he lifted the U.S. P.G.A. trophy at the age of 44 in 1984. A man celebrated for his humor and showmanship on the fairway, off-course Trevino is a surprisingly humble and private individual. The roots of his impoverished childhood run deep, a fact witnessed by his quiet generosity to numerous charities where Trevino demands complete confidentiality about his philanthropy.
