  Profile for Lee TREVINO
Lee Trevino's is a classic story of poor boy made good.
The private Trevino is a very different character, as withdrawn and wary as one might expect of someone who has more than once been ripped off by so-called friends and advisers, but this enigmatic individual will be remembered by posterity as a voluble extrovert as well as a formidable golfer.
And besides, Trevino's humble roots and impecunious upbringing meant that his relationship with the starchy officials at one of America's most exclusive and conservative institutions was always bound to be strained.

Lee Trevino's "slipping away," may not have been as memorable as Arnie's and Jack's farwell (and I don't wish to take anything away from Palmer's and Nicklaus' departure), but I do think Trevino's had a bit more class if for no other reason than its modesty.
