Jerry Pate - Part 3 (The Majors, Team Play and Life After Golf)

FORE the Good of the Game

Jerry Pate, who had a Hall of Fame-destined career cut short by injury at age 28, completes his story with a look back on his crowning achievement as a golfer, winning the 1976 U.S. Open at Atlanta Athletic Club in a PGA Rookie of the Year season. He had several other close calls in majors including the 1978 PGA Championship at Oakmont CC where John Mahaffey won in a 3-way playoff with Pate and Tom Watson. Jerry talks about representing the USA at the 1976 World Cup with Dave Stockton and playing on the 1981 Ryder Cup "Dream Team" that included nine future HOF'ers. He finishes up by recounting the rehab work it took to play on the Senior Tour and the rigors of being a golf broadcaster on the road and away from family. Jerry Pate concludes his story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
