  • Larry Gene Nelson (born September 10, 1947) is an American professional golfer who has won numerous tournaments at both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour level. Nelson was born in Fort Payne, Alabama and grew up in Acworth, Georgia, northwest of Atlanta. He did not play the game as a child – atypical for a successful professional golfer – in high school he focused on basketball and baseball. Nelson took up golf at the age of 21, after he returned from serving in the infantry in Vietnam (Nelson was a 20-year-old newlywed when he was drafted into the U.S. Army). Nelson was first introduced to golf by Ken Hummel, a soldier and friend in his infantry unit, and Nelson carefully studied Ben Hogan's book The Five Fundamentals of Golf while learning how to play the game. He soon discovered that he had a talent for the game, breaking 100 the first time he played and 70 within nine months. Nelson went on to graduate from Kennesaw Junior College in 1970 and turned professional the following year. He qualified for the PGA Tour at 27. Nelson's breakthrough year came in 1979, when he won twice and finished second on the money list to Tom Watson. Nelson won 10 times on the PGA Tour, including three major championships. He earned his first major title at the 1981 PGA Championship, which he won by four strokes. In 1983, Nelson was victorious at the U.S. Open at Oakmont, coming from seven behind at the halfway point to defeat Tom Watson by a single shot. Nelson scored a U.S. Open record 65-67 over the last 36 holes at the difficult Oakmont course, which broke a 51-year Open record established by Gene Sarazen. His 10-under-par 132 record score has yet to be equaled. In 1987, he finished tied with Lanny Wadkins after the regulation 72 holes of PGA Championship, and won the title with a par at the first playoff hole. Nelson played on the U.S. Ryder Cup team in 1979, 1981, and 1987. His record of 9–3–1 is one of the best since the event became USA v Europe in 1979; it had been a perfect 9–0–0 after the first two events. Nelson also had great success internationally. He won four tournaments on the Japan Golf Tour. Nelson also finished runner-up at the 1982 Dunlop Phoenix Tournament and the 1987 Mitsui Sumitomo Visa Taiheiyo Masters. In addition, he finished runner-up at the PGA Tour of Australasia's 1987 New Zealand Open, losing to Northern Ireland's Ronan Rafferty in a playoff. Since turning 50 in 1997, Nelson has had a successful Champions Tour career, winning 19 times, although he has not won a senior major. He was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in April 2006 and inducted in October 2006. In 2011, Nelson received the PGA Distinguished Service Award fromthe PGA of America. The award "honors outstanding individuals who display leadership and humanitarian qualities, including integrity, sportsmanship and enthusiasm for the game of golf". Nelson is also active in golf course design and created the LagRx Swing Trainer to help golfers condition and improve their muscle memory. (en)

  • Larry (Gene) Nelson, född 10 september 1947 i Fort Payne, Alabama är en amerikansk golfspelare. Till skillnad från många andra framgångsrika golfspelare så spelade inte Nelson golf som barn. Efter att han som 21-åring kommit hem från sin militärtjänstgöring i Vietnam så började han att läsa instruktionerna i Ben Hogans bok The Five Fundamentals of Golf. Han insåg snabbt att han hade talang för spelet då han under sin första runda gick på under 100 slag och efter nio månader på 70 slag. Han tog examen vid Kennesaw Junior College 1970 och blev professionell året efter. Han kvalificerade sig för PGA-touren när han var 27 år. Hans genombrott kom 1979 då han vann två proffstävlingar och slutade på andra plats i penningligan efter Tom Watson. Nelson vann tio tävlingar på PGA-touren av vilka tre var majors. I sin första majortävling, PGA Championship 1981, vann han med fyra slag. 1983 vann han efter att ha legat sju slag efter inför den tredje rundan. Han spelade dock de två sista rundorna på 132 slag och vann över Tom Watson med ett. 1987 hamnade han på delad första plats med Lanny Wadkins efter 72 hål men vann efter ha gjort par på det första särspelshålet.
