...played in more than seven tournaments in a single season after the wreck, yet he won 13 more, including six of the first nine majors he played after the accident. On the course, Hogan did not laugh. He did not joke. He did not smile. In his trademark white hat, Hogan walked deliberately from shot to shot, chain-smoking. And he hit the ball, cleanly, precisely, again and again, completely a craftsman of each swing and of each round. "Ben Hogan personified golf for many of us," said Professional Golfers' Association Tour commissioner Tim Finchem. "Perhaps no other player...

Brennan went on to serve through eight presidencies, remaining a force on the bench till he retired in 1990, when its composition had been stacked against him.
