They walked away from battles with him feeling shaken, frustrated, and sometimes furious. Don January looked calm on the outside with that smooth Texas swing, but the players who faced him in playoffs knew something different. They saw a man who seemed cursed by the golf gods. Why did so many champions leave those extra holes with Don January feeling like they had just survived something awful? Let's go back to 1956. Don January was still proving himself on tour when he made it into a four man playoff at the Western Open in San Francisco. This was a huge tournament back then, almost as big as a major championship. Winning it could change a player's career. Four players tied at the top after seventy two holes. Mike Fetchick, Doug Ford, Jay Hebert, and Don January. They all had to come back Monday and play another full eighteen holes to decide the winner.
