Michael Daniel Reid (born July 1, 1954) is an American professional golfer who has won two PGA Tour events and two senior majors on the Champions Tour. Reid finished in the top-10 70 times on the PGA Tour and became the first golfer to earn a million dollars prior to winning a single professional tournament.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://old.uga.org/index.php/About/details/C145/mike_reid )〕 In 1989, Reid came close to winning two major championships, the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship, leading both of them during closing holes of the final round. ==Early years and amateur career== Reid was born in Bainbridge, Maryland, the son of an Air Force officer. He first hit a golf ball when he was five years old. Military life for his father meant that his family frequently moved from one state in America to another. Reid later said: "It wasn't much of a life for a kid growing up but it certainly helped my golf game as I played on every kind of grass there is." In 1976, Reid graduated from Brigham Young University. During his collegiate golf career, Reid was selected for All-American honors from 1973-1976. He became close friends with PGA Tour player Pat McGowan. Both Reid and McGowan developed their game under BYU's golf coach Karl Tucker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Karl Tucker )〕 In the 1976 U.S. Open, while still an amateur, Reid led the tournament by three strokes with an opening round of 67, before finishing tied for 50th place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Open – Past Champions – 1976 )〕 Reid won the 1976 Pacific Coast Amateur Championship at The Los Angeles Country Club and lost in the quarter-final of the 1976 U.S. Amateur Championship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1976 U.S. Amateur Championship )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Reid (golfer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
