PGA of AMERICA HALL of FAME - Class of 2019
PGA OF AMERICA HALL OF FAME - Class of 2019 DAVIS LOVE III, PGA Davis Love III was born into a golfing family in Charlotte, North Carolina, the son of legendary PGA Teaching Professional Davis Love Jr., and mother, Helen, an accomplished amateur golfer. By age 10, Davis knew that he wanted to be a professional golfer. He followed an impressive junior career to earn a scholarship to the University of North Carolina where he was a three-time All-American golfer and the 1984 Atlantic Coast Conference Champion. In 1985, Love competed on the U.S. Walker Cup team before turning professional later that year. He won his first PGA TOUR event in 1987 at the MCI Heritage Golf Classic at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Love would go on to win this event five times during his career. His 21 PGA TOUR victories include the 1997 PGA Championship and a pair of win at THE PLAYERS Championship in 1992 and 2003. Just as Love was about to seal his PGA Championship victory with a birdie on the 18th hole at Winged Foot Golf Club, a rainbow appeared overhead. The setting and the emotional final moments connected Love’s victory to his father, a member of the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame who perished in a 1988 airplane accident. Love became one of nine PGA Champions whose father was a PGA of America member. In 1994, Love launched Love Golf Design, a company with his brother, Mark.

Dawson, meanwhile, made four birdies on his front nine and offset a long bogey at the par-4 4th hole with three more birdies on his second nine to shoot 66.
