To this day, the greatest shot I’ve ever seen was Pate’s magnificent 5-iron from the rough on the 18th to win the US Open at the Atlanta Athletic Club!

Power through pace with Jerry Pate. A gentleman of the game as well. Hall of fame quality player whose career was cut vastly short due to injuries.
