J. C. Snead

Jesse Carlyle "J.C." Snead (born October 14, 1940) is an American professional golfer who has won numerous tournaments on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. Snead is the nephew of the legendary Sam Snead.

Snead was born in Hot Springs, Virginia. He attended East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee. He played pro baseball in the Washington Senators farm system before becoming a professional golfer in 1964. He joined the PGA Tour in 1968.

Snead won eight tournaments on the PGA Tour, four on the Champions Tour, and one in international competition. He was a member of the 1971, 1973 and 1975 Ryder Cup teams. Snead's biggest career disappointment is that he never won a major championship on the PGA Tour; however, Snead made his career mark as one of the tour's most consistent players with more than 7 million dollars in career earnings. [ [http://www.virginiasportshalloffame.com/inductees_03.html Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Inductees] ] Snead recorded two runner-up finishes in majors. He finished 2nd at The Masters in 1973 and in a tie for 2nd at the U.S. Open in 1978.

In his free time Snead enjoys hunting and farming. He has one son, Jason, who was born in 1978. He currently resides in Hobe Sound, Florida.
