Join us as Texans Charles Coody (1971 Masters) and Tom Kite (1992 U.S. Open) recount their favorite stories from more than 80 years of competing in PGA Tour events and two of the most memorable major tournament wins ever!
Coody played in 38 Masters, with his most memorable being in 1971 when he held off Jack Nicklaus and a hard-charging Johnny Miller to win by two shots. A TCU Horned Frog, Coody went on to win 15 professional events and was known as one of the best iron shot-makers ever.
Tom Kite captured his first and only major at Pebble Beach in 1992. On a day when 40 mph winds sent scores soaring into the 80’s, Kite crafted an even par 72 to win by two shots. The highlight was a pitch-in birdie from deep rough on the iconic 7th hole. Kite won 19 times on the PGA Tour and played on seven Ryder Cup teams.
