U.S. Amateur winner and holder of eight PGA Tour titles, Jerry Pate recounts each of those wins including his first non-major win at the 1976 Canadian Open by four shots over Jack Nicklaus and the final one at the 1982 Tournament Players Championship, the first one played at its current home, the Pete Dye-designed TPC Stadium Course where he won with an orange ball and tossed both Dye and Commissioner Deane Beman into the pond at eighteen. Weeks later, Jerry gave Craig Stadler a run at the Masters before injuring his shoulder in May, effectively ending the career of a promising player with HOF potential. Jerry Pate looks back over his regular Tour victories and tells many great stories along the way, "FORE the Good of the Game."
