another barrier Monday night when
he became the first black member

It d idn’t take long for Sifford to
find out. During the 1952 Phoenix
Gpen, one o f the few events blacks
could play, Sifford found human
feces in the cup when he got to the
first green. Even more bothersome
was his first trip home to North
Carolina after he had his PGA Tour
card.
Sifford received death threats
over the phone at the ' 6 1 Greater
Greensboro Open. He heard racial
slurs as he walked the fairways of
Sedgefield Country Club. And he
still managed to finish fourth.
His courage paved the way for
other blacks to play on the PGA
Tour - Pete Brown, the first black to
win at the 1964 Waco Open; Lee
Elder, the first black to play the
Masters in 1975; Calvin Peete,
whose supreme accuracy off the
tee sent him to 12 victories, includ

“I don't know if one is better

more than three MVP awards and
the only one to win more than two

the 1979 NL award with Keith

Bonds said the lack o f a World

intends to play two more seasons.
“I want that championship." he
said. “I think that’s the one thing
that's eluding me from enjoying
these other accom plishments.”
