Ray B. Mangrum (June 17, 1910 – April 2, 1975) was an American professional golfer and the older brother of a more famous golfer, Lloyd Mangrum.
Career
Mangrum began his golf career in the 1920s as a club professional in Dallas, Texas,[1] eventually becoming the head professional at Cliff-Dale Country Club.[2] He and Lloyd moved from Texas to Los Angeles in the 1930s hoping that the move would raise their visibility and enhance their careers.[1] In Los Angeles in the 1940s, Mangrum mentored Ted Rhodes, a trailblazing African-American golfer.[3]
Mangrum won five[4] PGA Tour events in the 1930s and 1940s. His best finishes in major championships were T4 at the 1935 U.S. Open and T6 at the Masters.[5]
