Though he ranks fifth behind Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, Jack Nicklaus and Julius Boros among pro golf's alltime top-money winners, San Diego's Gene Littler, 36, is so inconspicuous that he has been refused entry at the players' gate. He frankly prefers it that way. "I just like to go out and play my game and be left alone," he says. Littler's game is called Finish in the Money, But Don't Be Greedy. His lifetime earnings total $434,324, most of which has come from finishing second (23 times) or third...

In 1959, Gene Littler needed only a par five on the 535-yd. 18th to tie Art Wall for the title; he hooked his second shot into the water, wound up with a double-bogey seven. Of course, there have been days when the 18th played easier; a San Franciscan named Mat Palacio once hit a drive in the general direction of China and muttered, "Only God can save that...
