Robert Raymond Tway IV (nacido el 4 de mayo de 1959) es un golfista profesional estadounidense que ha ganado numerosos torneos, incluidas ocho victorias en el PGA Tour . Pasó 25 semanas en el top 10 del Ranking Mundial Oficial de Golf en 1986-1987. ^[2]

Early life[edit]

Tway was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was introduced to golf at the age of five by his father and grandfather. He participated in his first tournament at age seven. He won the Redding Country Club Championship as a junior golfer in Redding, Connecticut. Tway attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he had a distinguished career as a member of the golf team — a three-time, first-team All-American his last three years.^[3] In 1978, Tway's freshman year, the Cowboys, led by seniors Lindy Miller and David Edwards, won the NCAA Championship. Cuando Oklahoma State volvió a ganar dos años después, Tway era su jugador estrella. Fue el ganador del premio Haskins en su último año. Se convirtió en profesional en 1981 y se unió al PGA Tour en 1985. ^[4]

Carrera profesional [ editar ]

En 1986, fue nombrado Jugador del Año de la PGA y terminó la temporada con cuatro victorias, incluida una importante , el Campeonato de la PGA . Fue segundo en la lista final de ganancias ese año, solo unos pocos dólares detrás de Greg Norman . ^[5]

El Campeonato de la PGA de 1986 se celebró en el Inverness Club de Toledo, Ohio . Tway terminó con una puntuación de 276, un margen de victoria de dos golpes sobre Greg Norman . Tway había embocado un tiro de bunker junto al césped en el hoyo 18 en el último día, que es un tiro memorable en la historia del golf. ^[5]

Tway también es conocido por registrar la peor puntuación en el hoyo 17 en TPC Sawgrass, que ocurrió durante la tercera ronda del Campeonato de Jugadores de 2005. Sus primeros cuatro intentos terminaron en el agua. Después de finalmente golpear el green en su quinto intento, lanzó tres putts para 12 para pasar de 7 bajo par y 4 golpes fuera del liderato a 2 sobre par y 13 detrás del líder. ^[6]

Tway tiene ganancias en su carrera en el PGA Tour que superan los 14 millones de dólares. Al cumplir 50 años en mayo de 2009, Tway comenzó a jugar en el Champions Tour . Su mejor resultado en ese lugar es T-2 en el Administaff Small Business Classic 2009 , dos golpes detrás del ganador del torneo John Cook .

Vida personal [ editar ]

Tway lives in Edmond, Oklahoma and enjoys snow skiing, fishing and a variety of other sports. Tway's son, Kevin, celebrated his 17th birthday by winning the U.S. Junior Amateur in 2005.^[5] Kevin turned professional in 2011 and won a Web.com Tour event in 2013, and his first PGA Tour event in 2018 at the Safeway Open.
