  Picard's call to Hall is late but justified - The Boston Globe
Picard, the onetime PGA Tour great -- a Plymouth native who left home in 1923 at age 17 to pursue his dream of a golf career -- was one of two players elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame, the other being three-time major winner Larry Nelson, 58.
In a career that began when Bobby Jones was at the pinnacle of his greatness, Picard won 26 times on the PGA Tour, the highlight being his two majors, the 1938 Masters and his 1939 conquest of Byron Nelson in the final match of the PGA Championship.
Picard said at the time that it didn't rank much more important than the North and South Open (he won that twice), and was only a notch or two higher than the Carolinas Open (he won that seven times).
