Lee Trevino is described in the public record as American golfer. Born in Dallas, United States, in 1939.
Lee Buck Trevino (born December 1, 1939) is an American retired professional golfer who is regarded as one of the greatest players in golf history. He was inducted to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1981. Trevino won six major championships and 29 PGA Tour events over the course of his career. He is one of only four players to twice win the U.S. Open, The Open Championship and the PGA Championship. The Masters Tournament was the only major that eluded him. He is an icon for Mexican Americans, and is often referred to as "the Merry Mex" and "Supermex", both affectionate nicknames given to him by other golfers. == Early life == Trevino was born in Garland, Texas, into a family of Mexican ancestry. He was raised by his mother, Juanita Trevino, and his grandfather, Joe Trevino, a gravedigger. Trevino never knew his father, Joseph Trevino, who left when his son was small.
Lee Trevino is recorded among the figures by whom golf is remembered, and the surviving account of that career is the basis on which the reputation rests.
Golf is scored against the course rather than an opponent, so a champion's record is read in major championships won across changing conditions and equipment eras.
