Rest In Peace

This article didn't even mention Calvin Pete as a pioneering black golfer. He actually had 9 tour victories and finished top 5 moeny list 3-5 times. Died in 2015 or 2018 maybe. Pete went from teaching himself to play to breaking par in less than a year. He was the most successful black player on tour until Tiger came along. He indeed ran with all the big names on tour and more than held his own. But, in 2 or 3 recent articles citing pioneering black tour golfers, Pete's name was left out.

I had seen that one. Good story all around. Never realized Peter had the health issues he did.
