Smiley Quick

Lyman Loren "Smiley" Quick (March 19, 1909 – December 23, 1979) was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1940s and 1950s.

Quick was born in Centralia, Illinois,[1] but lived most of his life in southern California in places like Inglewood and Los Angeles.

Amateur after missing a putt from 21⁄2 feet at Baltusrol's Lower Course giving Ted Bishop the championship.

[1] As a pro, Quick never lived up to the potential he showed as an amateur; the closest he came to winning on the PGA Tour was when he tied for first with Jack Burke Jr., Sam Snead and Dave Douglas at the 1950 Bing Crosby Pro-Am.

[1] Quick hustled boxing great Joe Louis out of a quarter million dollars — enough to buy an apartment in Los Angeles and a fleet of fast cars.
