Venturi Eyes Tour Comeback With New Hand
Venturi says his rebuilt right hand is strong enough for a PGA tour return. He plans to rejoin the tour for the Byron Nelson Classic in Texas later this month, following a 1970 operation to remove wrist scar tissue that restored nerve function and speed. He won the 1964 U S Open and sought Masters titles, then left tour after injuries. He remains active in golf via CBS contract and a club business, driven by love of competition.
