Another Trevino story....
« on: August 17, 2011, 08:36:24 pm »
Lee was one of the the top contenders for a long time and always had a sense of humor...One day after a a particularly tough round and Lee winning on the 18th hole by sinking a very long putt an interviewer asked Lee Trevino about the 'extreme pressure' of sinking a very long putt to win a tournament.
Lee quipped..."Hell, that's not pressure son!"..."Pressure is when you are playing with 3 guys who are bigger than you in a $1,000 Nassau (a form of golf betting) and you get to the 18th and have to sink a winning putt knowin' there's a $1,000 at stake and you only got $100 in your pocket!"
"Now son...That there is PRESSURE!"

He mentioned 3 guys bigger than him. Made me think he was going in an altogether other direction. Snuck up on me again!

Lee is big in stature but not in height, he was in his time one of the best golfers in the world and it is sad that he died at a not so old age, always ready for a good joke or wise crack but a very serious golfer
