-digital, gouache
Walter Charles Hagen (1892 –1969) was an American professional golfer and stand out figure in golf in the first half of the 20th century. His record of 11 professional major championship victories is third behind Jack Nicklaus with 18, and Tiger Woods with 15.
Hagen won the US Open twice, and in 1922 became the first native-born American to win the Open Championship (British Open), and won it three more times. He also won the PGA Championship a record-tying five times. Hagen totaled 45 PGA wins in his career, and was a six-time Ryder Cup captain. (The Master Tournament, the youngest of the 4 major championships, was not established until 1934, after his playing prime.)
