ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (UPI) -- Lanny Wadkins and Jose Maria Olazabal
were inducted Monday into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, an avid golfer who died in
1969, was inducted into the hall in the lifetime achievement category
and Irish golfer Christy O'Connor, 84, was chosen in the veterans
category.
Wadkins, 59, won 21 PGA Tour Titles, including the 1977 PGA
Championship, and played on eight Ryder Cup teams.
"It's something that I never dreamed of," Wadkins said at the
induction ceremony in St. Augustine, Fla. "You start out playing golf,
you don't think about playing for a Hall of Fame. You think about
trying to win tournaments and support your family and maybe
accomplishing some wins and stuff. You never think it will culminate
in something like this."
Olazabal, 43, a two-time Masters champion with six wins on the PGA
Tour and 21 on the European Tour, was chosen on the international
ballot. Olazabal played in seven Ryder Cups.
