  • And he enjoyed a fine PGA Tour career, winning one major and coming very close to another. But his career win total of 10 is probably lower than many expected from Mahaffey, and part of the reason might be that Mahaffey was often bothered by injury.
    submitted by - Adline Systems
  • Some of the injuries were not too surprising for a golfer. A hyperextended elbow tendon, for example, bothered Mahaffey for a couple years in the mid-1970s. But some of his aches and pains had more unusual causes, too. Such as the time he fell off a ladder and broke a finger.
