Fourth all-time with nine career Major Championships, Ben Hogan almost had his life cut short in 1949. Hogan claimed the PGA Championship in 1946, and both the PGA and U.S. Open in 1948. A year later, Hogan and his wife survived a head-on collision with a Greyhound bus. Hogan suffered a fractured pelvis, collar bone, ankle and rib while also dealing with life-threatening blood clots. Told by doctors that he may never walk again, Hogan miraculously returned to golf only seven months after the accident. Hogan would go on to win six more Major’s, including three during the 1953 season.
