Al was team captain at USC playing for the legendary coach, Stan Wood, playing in the L.A. Open three times while in college, ultimately finishing 5th while a senior and beating Arnold Palmer. He remembers turning pro at age 22 and recounts his early wins including the 1965 American Golf Classic at Firestone where he became famous for his mid-round PB&J sandwiches.
