1. Ben Hogan

 

Facebook reaction:

Mr. Ben Hogan.

Greatest ball striker ever! 9 majors. However he Lost 20 chances to play in more during WWII in the 1940's!

Would be right there with Jack and Tiger if not for the war, had he "found it" a little earlier in his career (transforming a terrible hook into a power fade of true perfection) ,and the auto accident.

"I've seen Nicklaus watch Hogan practice," Tommy Bolt once said, "but I've never seen Hogan watch Nicklaus practice."

Hogan is the only golfer to have won the Masters, the United States Open and the British Open in the same year, 1953. Over all, he won 63 PGA Tour events, including nine majors: two Masters, a record-sharing four United States Opens, that one British Open in his only try, and two Professional Golfers Association titles. -- Fred Segal

Hogan was incredible. Probably one of the longest hitters pound for pound and STRAIGHT... Only missed 5 fairways in his only British Open (which he won). -- Mike Kohl

Mr. Ben Hogan. -- Steven Spears
