The Toughest Man in Golf

in 1949, Ben Hogan was at the top of the golf world. Then one night,

driving through Texas, a bus smashed head-on into his car. Doctors said he

might never walk again. Blood clots nearly killed him. His career was supposed

to be over. But one year later, Ben Hogan returned… and won the U.S. Open.

He played the rest of his career in pain, wearing compression bandages under his

trousers. That’s why they called him the toughest man golf has ever seen.
