Lee Trevino: The Merry Mex Turns 75
/Adam Schupak files a nice birthday tribute to the 75-year-old who says he's now best known to the millennials thanks to his cameo in Happy Gilmore.
The tributes from several players who were inspired or influenced by Trevino's advice is the main reason to check out the piece, but this was pretty funny too:
As Player made a muscle for the gallery, milking the moment for all it was worth, Trevino grabbed Player’s bicep.
“I said to Gary, ‘Did you ever think you’d live to see the day where we can outdrive Jack Nicklaus?’” Trevino recalled. “And Gary says to me, ‘Did you ever think you’d see the day where we’d be taller than him?’”
To commemorate Trevino's birthday, golf.com has posted this "Life in Pictures" slideshow with commentary.
