A gentleman, a class act is Hale IRWIN. ALWAYS ROOTED for Hale. First time I ever saw Hale was on Shells wonderful world of Golf verses Lanny Watkins. I recall saying to myself he looks like a bookkeeper....later discovered he was a top football player in college. Thanks Hale for all the great monuments you gave us all. 🏆
Honorable mention: Fuzzy Zoeller, Ky Laffoon, Gibby Gilbert, Chi chi Rodriguez, and Peter Oosterhuis. Btw, Hale Irwin was mean as hell--had major meltdowns when he was mad.
On the first hole, first round, Tony Jacklin had a 15 footer for a par. He hit the putt beautifully and touched the hole, but missed on the high side. He then had a 30 footer for bogey. I believe he missed it.
Hale was so rude to Mike Donald when he won the playoff at the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah. He blew right by him as if Mike was not worthy of Hale's presence. Watch the video.
? He jumped in the air, pumped his fists to the crowd and in about 4 seconds then went straight up to Donald and shook his hand and patted his shoulder. What on Earth is up with internet people? LOL
I was 13 when i watched this tournament live. Always a Hale Irwin fan.

Is it possible for Shell's Wonderful World of Golf to pull that out of their archives?
Great mini doc. Thanks, USGA.
I got Hale's autograph at a Champion's Tour event in Minnesota quite a few years ago. Very nice guy.
He's a class act, and a technically great swing which I've always admired.
Great analysis
If you ever listen to Jack Nicklaus and Hale Irwin, I.E at Medinah 1990 (the final round) you will hear some great analysis
dttruman thx. I will search for it

My paternal grandfather died before I was born, but I'd like to believe he was just like Hale Irwin
I want that little U.S. Open trophy!!
Look in your pants
Runner-up was Forrest Fezler - may he rest in peace. Next to Kermit Zarley, my favorite name in PGA history. Oh, and Gay Brewer.

@@nicholasschroeder3678 Good ones. And I'll have a glass of Brandel Chamblee, please.
It’s a gritty course…the final round is brutal and interesting to watch. Long and windy…for starters. Then the rough….
Thanks
After that second shot on the 72nd hole, he could finally ex"hale" and declare that his work was done.

A Rotwieller on the links. Great competitor.
