CHIP BECK initially made his mark on the PGA tour in 1988, recording his first two wins at the Los Angeles Open and USF&G Classic. He maintained his excellent playing record, winning the 1990 Buick Open. However, it is not the PGA Tour Victory that made Chip Beck a legend in golf. In his third round at the Las Vegas Invitational in 1991, Chip recorded the second 59 in PGA Tour history and forever etched his name into the golf record books. Chip added his fourth career victory in 1992, with a win at the Freeport-McMoran Golf Classic. He followed with a stellar year in 1993 in which he finished second at the Masters and earned a Ryder Cup berth, the third of his career. He represented the United States well at the Belfry that year, beating Barry Lane in a singles match to help secure the Cup. Currently, Chip continues to play competitively but finds time to appear in the broadcast booth, where he draws on his playing prestige as an analyst for ESPN golf telecasts.
