    COOKEVILLE'S BOBBY GREENWOOD HAS PLAYED AGAINST THE GREATS by Buddy Pearson COOKEVILLE •• The Golf Channel recently celebrated the centennial birthdays of Byron Nelson, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan with an hour•long show American Triumvirate. The show provided an in•depth look into the three men who helped shape a modern, new era of golf. (Pictured: Cookeville’s Bobby Greenwood (right) poses with Byron Nelson (left) after playing against Nelson in the 1964 Texas Cup matches. Greenwood has played against legends like Nelson, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. Cookeville golfing legend Bobby Greenwood knows first•hand what Nelson, Snead and Hogan were like. During his illustrious golfing career, Greenwood was able to play with and against golfing's greatest triumvirate. "Byron Nelson, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan were great champions," said Greenwood. "They were perfectionists and hard workers. They were each great competitors and fighters along with being gifted athletes. They also had strong character." Greenwood came across an aging Nelson in the 1964 Texas Cup matches. An All•American at North Texas State, Greenwood was on the amateur squad and was selected to take on Nelson, who represented the professional team. Greenwood says even though Nelson was way past his prime, the man who holds the record for winning 11 consecutive tournaments and 18 in one season was just as competitive 20 years after accomplishing those amazing feats. "As I look back over my playing career, I've played against a lot of great players including Jack Nicklaus, Cary Middlecoff, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Billy Joe Patton and Arnold Palmer, but Byron Nelson, even at his older age, was the most intense player I have ever played against.
