Who is Ben Crenshaw?

Born in Austin, Texas, Crenshaw attended and played golf at Austin High School and the University of Texas, where he won three NCAA Championships from 1971 to 1973.

In 1973, Crenshaw became the second player in Tour history to win the first event of his career; this accomplishment was achieved earlier by Marty Fleckman (1967) and later repeated by Jim Benepe (1988), Robert Gamez (1990), Garrett Willis (2001), and Russell Henley (2013). Together with his teammate George Burns, he won the 1979 Walt Disney World National Team Championship in Orlando.

In 1996, Onion Creek expanded when it opened a new nine holes, not surprisingly, designed by local legend and Masters champion, Ben Crenshaw along with Bill Coore. With the new addition, Demaret's back nine today can be mixed and matched with the new nine to create a full 18.
