The first of golf's millionaires. The inspiration for a world-wide fan club 'Arnie's Army'. The man who believed that what he achieved, and how he achieved it, were of equal importance. Barry Davies met golf's most eminent statesman at his home in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

If you'd like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.'
