Steve Jones - Part 3 (Coming Back to Win the 1996 U.S. Open)

In this third episode with Steve Jones we listen in as he recounts the serious dirt-bike accident that took him away from golf for nearly three years at age 32. With aggressive rehab, Steve continued to re-injure his hand which caused him to improvise the way he laid his hands on the golf club. Showing faint glimmers of hope on the Tour in 1995 and early 1996, Steve decided to try to qualify for that year's U.S. Open at Oakland Hills. He prevailed, becoming the first qualifier to win since Jerry Pate in 1976. WGHOF member and USGA President at the time, Judy Bell, presented the winning trophy capping off a most improbable comeback. Steve Jones continues his remarkable life story, "FORE the Good of the Game." Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.
