During our adolescent period, we tend to live with a stress-free life, no pressure, no serious works and even no visible future plans at all, but not with Ben Daniel Crenshaw. He is an American professional golfer at the age of 21 who got his 19 victories on the PGA Tour, including two major battles: The 1984-1995 Masters Tournament. Gentle Ben, as an amateur golfer played at Austin High School and in the University Texas won three awards from 1971-1973 with great skills and knowledge in golfing. Historians commented on several books that Ben achieved his first award with great confidence and roaring spirit to win, and this was his uniqueness from the earlier champions Marty Fleckman (1967), Robert Gamez (1990), Garrett Willis (2001), and Russell Henley (2013).
Ben Crenshaw or also known as 'Gentle Ben' was a Texan who started to show his skills in golfing since he was still a student at Austin High School and in the University of Texas, where he won three major awards from 1971 to 1973. He became popular when he got the first award and event of his career - the second player in history who won the Masters Tournament in 1973, though earlier golfers such as Robert Gamez, Garret Willis, Russell Henley and Marty Fleckman also achieved it. Yet being a Texan has its benefits with year round golf rounds available courtesy of geography and the climate. Its not as if you are up north In Canada where all Manitobans can do is watch the golf channel on TV or take up the alternate winter sport of curling. Others , if they are lucky enough to have the cash can venture on a golfing vacation or extended "snowbird" visit.
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.
Some contenders faced cruel consequences when they selected Crenshaw as their greatest opponent. One of them was Tom Watson who came closest to catching him. They had a good fight, close scores, roaring spirits, but only one of them succeeded. "This is his first, and I am sure it means a lot to him." Watson was obviously right on that score, but Crenshaw once commented "There will never be a sweeter moment for me than this." Who is the winner based on your instincts?
Overall, Gentle Ben is still strong and courageous at the age of 61. He can play golf and win it. He can teach and inspire other amateur golfers with his titles and awards, as well as his spirit and determination to win a challenging battle. He started at a young age, but didn't stop for what he had achieved when he was 21 years old. Losing a battle is a normal experience by golfers. However, stopping is different from resting as well as pushing harder to prove himself once again.
