Mark O'Meara - Part 1 (The Early Years)

FORE the Good of the Game

Mark O’Meara, World Golf Hall of Fame Inductee and winner of two major championships, shares his earliest memories of learning the game growing up in Mission Viejo, CA. He enjoyed success at a young age as an All-American at Long Beach State and winning the 1979 U.S. Amateur Championship at Canterbury GC over defending champ and childhood friend, John Cook. As a 23-year-old, Mark found himself at Augusta National, teeing it up with the defending champion, Fuzzy Zoeller, at the Masters and then with Hale Irwin (defending champ) and Seve Ballesteros (reigning Open and Masters champ) at the U.S. Open at Baltusrol. Turning pro later that year, Mark earned PGA Rookie of the Year in his first full season on Tour. Mark O’Meara recounts his early years, “FORE the Good of the Game.”
