Bruce Lietzke was a Texan pro golfer who did things his own way.

In a 10-year period between 1981 and ’91 that covered his 30s, he recorded seven top-six finishes in the Majors, six of them in the USPGA Championship, and won five PGA Tour titles. This despite playing a measly average of 20 events a year.
