Hagen, Walter (Charles)

Hagen, Walter (Charles)
born Dec. 21, 1892, Rochester, N.Y., U.S.
died Oct. 5, 1969, Traverse City, Mich.

U.S. golfer.

A caddie from the age of 9, Hagen was 21 when he won his first major tournament. He won numerous important championships from the mid 1910s to the late 1920s and captained the U.S. Ryder Cup team for 1927–37. A colourful, self-confident man, he insisted that professional golfers be treated as gentlemen (not always previously the case). Among his well-known remarks is the observation that, in life, one should take the time to "stop and smell the roses."
