DD4Bills Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) So, based on the profile and, I'm guessing, the 1950's era picture, I'm going with Ben Hogan. He was given a NYC ticker tape parade after his first and only British Open win (in his first and only British Open appearance).

No, Capone was a stockier man with a pretty sizeable head. This infamous gangster was dapper... i.e. he was a snappy dresser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
