Davis Love III: New hip, same ol' great guy
Posted Jul 13, 2018
Davis Love III, winner of 21 PGA Tour events, is 54, but most people wouldn’t call him old. They might call him major champion, World Golf Hall of Famer, two-time Ryder Cup captain, or the most gracious and modest professional golfer going. But they wouldn’t call him old. Just eight months after having his left hip replaced, he’s taking on players 30 years his junior.
