Not Westwood and/or Harrington.

I think my wording in the question failed to make it clear that each HSBC so far INCLUDES this year.

striker's not playing this year, doubt if he's played many, if any, of these, he'd rather be huntin', fishin', skinnin' animals.

I was thinking that, Mav. But was reluctant to add that if a clue had been that one of his sons was doing time in San Quentin, it would be a lot easier!
(But extraneous information has not been popular today . . . . )

Not sure Mav, But I DO know that it was annually a very poiignant occasion at the Father / Son tournament, seeing which son Dad had turned up with, and to hear the commentary talk about his lad's problems.

Always a very enjoyable event to watch, all except the nauseating sight of Ray Floyd kissing his grown sons, (one of whom apparently also has had his troubles with the demon drink and whom Allenby took on as a caddie during the Fall Series while Floyd Jr carried an electronic bracelet).

Didn't know that about Casper's son! Just googled it... no great fan of the Mormon golfer, but 100 years + for a drug addled burglary spree?!? I've heard of harsh sentencing, but jeez.....

As for the current question... can't see an American competing at Le Mans. So.... didn't Seve have 50-odd wins, and some competetive sons? Raul Ballesteros maybe?

Mac,
We need another clue:
1).I won my first event as a college golfer.
2).I have competed in the Le Mans 24-hours race.
3).My father won 51 times (and it is stressed that this may not be golf).

So far, it's not Greg Norman, McLaren, Casper or Ballesteros.
