Golfing is never been denied as one of the most popular, breath-taking and challenging sport throughout the history of game championships. Histories commented that almost half of the unsurpassed player in 1973 was no other than Ben Crenshaw, who was also known as 'Gentle Ben.' The person behind some of the major gold awards and championships he had personally joined. "I don't think I could go on living unless I felt I could win one of the major championships." This was his final words when he decided to pursue his golfing career until he got promoted into a level where geniuses stayed and reigned.
Fatigue, restlessness and inability to work well - these were signs that felt by Ben after his major awards and championships that made him distant from the golf for a short period of time. He was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid problem or Grave's disease. Nevertheless, he did not stop to achieve victories when he came back to golfing, such as finishing the 1995 Masters Victory and 19 on the PGA. In 1999, he was chosen to be the captain of the Ryder Cup to play at The Country Club, Massachusetts. Criticisms about his leadership were observed when his team slipped to 10-6 defeats. However, he proved himself once again by giving the best shot in the Sunday Singles.
Losing a battle is a normal circumstance that players can experience. One of those players is no other than Gentle Ben. He lost five championships, dismayed with a sudden- death playoff for the 1979 PGA championship, and received criticisms when his team slipped to a 10-6 deficit in 1999. Another disaster was given to him when he was diagnosed with Grave's disease or a hyperactive thyroid problem which made him weak. However, he proved himself once again by winning several battles in the same year - the 1995 Masters Tournament with his 1 stroke margin of Victory. Previously, he won a 1984 Masters Tournament with Tom Watson as the runner up.
He won amateur fights such as the International Jaycee Golf Tournament (1968),1973 NCAA Championship, Western (1973), NCAA Championship, Sunnehanna Amateur, (1972) and continued his breath-taking fights by joining professional championships in San Antonio Texas Open(1973), Bing Crosby(1976), Hawaiian Open (1976), Ohio Kings (1976), Colonial National Invitation (1977), Phoenix Open (1979, Walt Disney World National Team Championship (1979), Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic Byron Nelson Golf Classic(1983), Masters Tournament (1984), Buick Open (1986) and Vantage Tournament (1986).
At a young age, Crenshaw showed how powerful he was in the field wherein challenging holes near the areas of luring perilous lakes and control over the game were needed. He won challenging honors and awarded as the top among the ten players of his generation. He was the hottest tour prospect since Jack Nicklaus and a superstar of his era after winning the San Antonio-Texas Open at the age of 21. He remained as the youngest winner, though Robert Gamez also did the same thing at Phoenix Open in 1990.
