From the August 2002 issue of Power & Motoryacht magazine:
“I like fishing because it’s so different from what I do for a living,” says Curtis Strange, his voice tinged with the easy-on-the-ear drawl of North Carolina, where he lives. “It’s one of the very few things that really gets me away from my job.” He smiles for a moment as he hears himself say “job.” Maybe that’s because Strange’s job is golf. For those of you who don’t follow the sport, he has finished first on the PGA Tour 17 times; was the Tour’s leading money winner in 1985, 1987, and 1988; won back-to-back U.S. Open Championships (1988 and 1989); is captain of the 2002 American Ryder Cup Team; and is lead golf analyst for ABC television.
