f golf ever needed a certain kind of man to dull the harsh scorn of its critics, he was found in 1971. Golf found Lee Trevino, a common man with an uncommon touch who has bewitched, bothered and bewildered the custodians of the game's mores.

Trevino, now 58, entered the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1981 and joined the Senior Tour in 1989. He is still an active player.
