Who is Hubert Green?
Hubert Myatt Green is a former American professional golfer who won 23 professional golf tournaments on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.
Green was born in Birmingham, Alabama. He grew up playing at the Birmingham Country Club, where his parents were members. Green played on the golf team at Florida State University, graduated in 1968 with a degree in marketing, and turned pro in 1969. He won the Houston Champions International and was the PGA Tour's Rookie of the Year in 1971. Green is among the top 38 all-time PGA Tour winners with 19 victories during his 26 years on the PGA Tour. He won two major championships: the 1977 U.S. Open which was held at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the 1985 PGA Championship which was held at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. He played on three Ryder Cup teams: 1977, 1979, and 1985. In 1977, Green finished third in The Open Championship at Turnberry, that became known as the "Duel in the Sun", as Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus finished respectively 11 and 10 shots clear of Green in third place; fittingly, perhaps, Green also finished the year ranked third in Mark McCormack's world golf rankings that year.
