Charles Henry "Chip" Beck (born September 12, 1956) is an American professional golfer. He has four victories on the PGA Tour and twenty runner-up finishes. He spent 40 weeks in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings between 1988 and 1989 and was the second player to shoot a 59 on the PGA Tour.[1]
Early life and amateur career
Beck was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He was a three-time All-American at the University of Georgia.
Professional career
Beck's early professional career was very strong. He finished joint runner-up at the 1986 U.S. Open and 1989 U.S. Open. Beck was a three-time Ryder Cup participant during this era, playing in the 1989 Ryder Cup, 1991 Ryder Cup, and 1993 Ryder Cup. He won the Vardon Trophy in 1988.
He shot a round of 59 in the third round of the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational at the par-72 Sunrise Golf Club in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the second 59 in the history of the PGA Tour. Beck's round included 5 pars and 13 birdies. This included a three-foot birdie on the 18th hole. Beck finished tied for third in the tournament.
Beck was also the solo runner-up at the 1993 Masters, four behind champion Bernhard Langer.
His later career was not as dominant. He missed 46 consecutive PGA Tour cuts from 1997 to 1998 and eventually left the PGA Tour to become an insurance salesman.[2][3]
Beck shot a hole-in-one (also a double eagle) at the par-4 9th hole in the first round of the 2003 Omaha Classic, a Nationwide Tour event. It was the first hole-in-one in the history of the developmental tour and second recorded in the history of the PGA Tour umbrella combined.
In 2006, Beck became eligible for the Champions Tour and enjoyed newfound success. In 2015, he stepped away from competition to become an ambassador at Grey Oaks Country Club in Naples, Florida.[4]
Personal life
Beck currently resides in Lake Forest, Illinois.
