True.

Larry Nelson began playing golf at age 21 upon his return from Army service in Vietnam. He broke 70 in his first year and won the PGA Championship twelve years later (and the U.S. Open two years after that).



I asked him in his prime if his goal was to become the game's greatest player.

"Well," he said with a little smile, "maybe the greatest player who ever started at 21."
