Personal Best
When asked, Hale leans toward the 2-iron he hit at the last hole to win the 1974 U.S. Open at Winged Foot as his all-time favorite shot, although most will remember him forever for his spontaneous jaunt around the 72nd green at Medinah en route to his third U.S. Open championship.
His favorite all-time athlete is Byron "Whizzer" White, a fellow CU football standout and the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court due to his incredible accomplishments both on and off the field.
