Roberto De Vicenzo

Roberto De Vicenzo (1923 to 2017) was a professional golfer from Argentina, born in Villa Ballester near Buenos Aires, who learned the game as a caddie and developed his skills at the Ranelagh Golf Club. He won a record 229 professional tournaments worldwide, including seven on the PGA Tour and the 1967 Open Championship. He is also remembered for signing an incorrect scorecard at the 1968 Masters Tournament, which kept him out of a playoff with Bob Goalby, and for his remark afterwards, What a stupid I am. He represented Argentina 15 times and Mexico four times in the Canada Cup and World Cup, leading Argentina to victory in 1953, and later won the inaugural U.S. Senior Open in 1980. He received the Bob Jones Award in 1970 and entered the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1989.
