Golfing is never been denied as one of the most popular, breath-taking and challenging sport throughout the history of game championships. Histories commented that almost half of the unsurpassed player in 1973 was no other than Ben Crenshaw, who was also known as 'Gentle Ben.' The person behind some of the major gold awards and championships he had personally joined. "I don't think I could go on living unless I felt I could win one of the major championships." This was his final words when he decided to pursue his golfing career until he got promoted into a level where geniuses stayed and reigned.
Not all golfers were blessed with a perfect life - expensive and fashionable cars, palace-like houses, good career status and opportunities and most especially good health and living. This was the major downfall of Ben Crenshaw because he was diagnosed with a disease that calls for a rest and low participation in extensive activities. Armed with routine examination and proper medications, he faced his hyperactive thyroid condition with confidence and peace in 1985.
Being an amateur was never his reason to give up, but his inspiration to achieve more titles in the future. Ben Crenshaw won 13 awards when he was still an amateur player. Some of these titles were awarded at different places in the United States, wherein international players participated. His awards were the following: International Jaycee Golf Tournament (1968), NCAA Championship, Western (1973), NCAA Championship, Sunnehanna Amateur (1972).
After winning his amateur fights, he tested his skills with different professional battles from 1973- 1995. Fortunately, he got 29 awards. He competed international golfers in San Antonio Texas Open(1973), Bing Crosby(1976), Hawaiian Open (1976), Ohio Kings (1976), Colonial National Invitation (1977), Phoenix Open (1979, Walt Disney World National Team Championship (1979), Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic Byron Nelson Golf Classic(1983), Masters Tournament (1984), Buick Open (1986) and Vantage Tournament (1986).
At a young age, Crenshaw showed how powerful he was in the field wherein challenging holes near the areas of luring perilous lakes and control over the game were needed. He won challenging honors and awarded as the top among the ten players of his generation. He was the hottest tour prospect since Jack Nicklaus and a superstar of his era after winning the San Antonio-Texas Open at the age of 21. He remained as the youngest winner, though Robert Gamez also did the same thing at Phoenix Open in 1990.

Great golfers win tournaments on putting not the long shots is Crenshaws' message. His instructor growing up, Harvey Penick, taught him a smooth, effortless stroke on the greens, which allowed him to master even the speediest of greens-including those at Augusta National Golf Club.
