FUN FACT: The USGA has granted a special exemption to 35 players 53 times since 1966. These have gone to notable champions like Jack, Arnold and Tom. Hale Irwin on such an exemption won in 1990. You’ve seen the video, he sinks a 45 birdie putt on 18 and takes a victory lap around the green holding his putter in the air . . . He went on to win in a playoff.
