It took him a while to win his first big game, but he kept practicing and practicing. He was like a superhero who trained super hard to get his powers!

One day, Ben Hogan had a terrible accident where a bus crashed into his car. He was very, very hurt, but guess what? He got better and went back to playing golf!
