Martin Joseph Bohen (born 1942)[2][1] is an American professional golfer. Though he did play briefly on the PGA Tour, Bohen spent most of his career as a club professional in New York state. As a touring professional he had his most success overseas, posting several 1st and 2nd-place finishes in the Australasian region, including a victory at the 1979 Tasmanian Open.

Amateur career[]

Bohen was born in the spring of 1942.[2][1] He was born in Los Angeles, California.[1] He was introduced to golf at the age of 6 or 7 by his father Robert. His family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada when Bohen was 11 years old.[3] Bohen lived in Las Vegas for the remainder of his adolescence.[1] For college, Bohen attended the University of Southern California and played on the golf team.[3] One of his teammates was Dave Stockton.[4] In his senior year he began to have some success at a national level. In the summer he qualified for the U.S. Amateur though he lost to Steve Spray in the opening round.[5] Later during the academic year he reached the semifinals of the NCAA Championships. He was finally eliminated by Jim Colbert. During his final year of college he realistically envisioned himself becoming a professional golfer for the first time.[3]

In June 1965 he was low amateur at the Nevada Open.[2] That year he also won the Nevada Amateur.[1]

Professional career[]

Bohen turned professional in November 1965.[2] Soon thereafter, he tried out for the PGA Tour. At the inaugural 1965 PGA Tour Qualifying School he missed qualifying by 8 shots.[6] In between his attempts to qualify for the tour Bohen played in a number of state opens. In June 1966 he won the Nevada Open with a 212 (−4) total.[2] He became the first golfer to win the Nevada Amateur and Nevada Open in back to back years.[1] In August he played the Montana Open. He was in sixth place, eight behind entering the final round.[7] He finished in a tie for third only behind champion Al Feldman and runner-up Labron Harris. He won $725 for his efforts.[8] Later in the year he tried out for the PGA Tour again at the 1966 PGA Tour Qualifying School. He missed qualifying by one shot.[6]

In 1966, in an effort to make ends meet, Bohen began work as a blackjack dealer in Las Vegas.[9] During the late 1960s, Bohen twice more attempted to qualify for the PGA Tour through the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament but did not succeed.[4] In 1969 he began working with legendary golf coach Toney Penna in hopes of turning around his performance. With the help of Penna, he qualified for and made the cut at the 1969 U.S. Open.[3] The following year he again qualified for the U.S. Open. He did not have as much success, missing the cut by a wide margin.[10] In November 1970 he played the Gardena Open in Gardena, California. The event included a number of current PGA Tour professionals, including Jerry Heard, Lee Elder, and Cesar Sanudo. Bohen ended the tournament with three consecutive rounds in the 60s for a tie for eighth.[11]

In 1970 he quit his job as a blackjack dealer.[9] Shortly thereafter, he moved to the east coast to work at Elmwood Country Club in White Plains, New York. He worked as an assistant professional.[3]

In the early 1970s Bohen decided to play in the Asia-Pacific region. "I wanted to keep playing," Bohen stated a few years later. "But I wasn't playing too well so I decided to try something different."[12] In November 1971 Bohen played the Cumberland Golf Classic in Sydney, Australia. After two rounds Bohen was at 133 (−9), three behind leader Walter Godfrey. However, Bohen provided a "tremendous challenge" to Godfrey with an eagle and two birdies out of the gate. By the 5th hole they were tied and by the 7th Bohen had a two-stroke lead. Bohen lost his solo lead, however, after a birdie-bogey exchange with Godfrey on the 8th hole. On the back nine Godfrey would slightly outplay his playing partner, holding a one-shot lead entering the last. The par-5 18th hole was played in "torrential rain." Bohen was unable to birdie and, against Godfrey's par, lost by one.[13] Three weeks later, he had success at the Otago Charity Classic played in Dunedin, New Zealand. Bohen shot a second round 67 to tie Peter Thomson and Bob Charles for the lead at 137.[14] Bohen shot a third round 71 (−1) and against Charles' 67 (−5) was now was four behind.[15] Bohen's putted poorly in the final round and did not put up a serious challenge against Charles. However, he "got the one putt that really mattered," an 11-foot birdie on the final hole to secure solo second by a shot over Godfrey and Peter Thomson.[16] Late in the year he opened with rounds of 69 at the Spalding Masters to put him three back of the lead in joint fourth place.[17] However, during the third round − which was also the final round − Bohen was unable to break par and did not seriously contend.[18]

In March 1972 Bohen played the Malaysian Open. Bohen opened with rounds of 68 and 69 to put himself at 137 (−7), in joint third, two back of the lead held by Japan's Takashi Murakami and South Korea's Hahn Chang Sang.[19] He shot a third round 68 (−3) and to move into a tie for the lead with Murakami and Sukree Onsham of Thailand at 206 (−10). Bohen played poorly in the final round, however, shooting a 71 (−1) to finish one shot back of champion Murakami. He finished in a tie for second with Onsham and Walter Godfrey. "I played badly today and was lucky to have hit a 71," he said after the round. "I suppose none of the leaders played really well today on account of the tension and the pressure."[20] It was the final of three runner-up performances for the season.[21]

As of 1972, he was an assistant professional at Leewood Country Club at Eastchester, New York.[4] In June 1972 he played the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links. He finished T-55.[4] He intended to return to his job at Leewood.[4] However, the head pro, George Lewis, encouraged him to continue playing tournament golf.[4] Bohen took the offer and decided to work as a touring professional until the ran out of money.[4] His status as a PGA of America club professional gave him opportunities to qualify for PGA Tour tournaments.[4] In July he qualified for the American Golf Classic with a 71 on Monday.[22] In the first round of the event proper Bohen was even-par through the first 16 holes and then made birdies on the "difficult" 17th and 18th holes to shoot 68 (−2).[21] His late run put him in a tie for fourth with, among others, Arnold Palmer, three back of Ron Cerrudo's lead.[22] Bohen, however, faded over the final three rounds and finished in a tie for 43rd.[23] In August he played the USI Golf Classic at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Sutton, Massachusetts. He again opened well, this time with a 68 (−4) to put him one back of the lead, in joint third.[24] He would shoot slightly over-par over the next three rounds, however, and finish at 288 (E), in a tie for 26th.[25]

In 1973 Bohen played on the PGA Tour again. In June he opened with a 68 (−4) at the Kemper Open to put himself in a tie for sixth, three back of leader Tom Weiskopf.[26] He faded over the final three rounds, however, and finished in a tie for 45th at 285 (−3).[27] In August he again played the USI Golf Classic at Pleasant Valley Country Club in Massachusetts. Like the previous year, he opened well, shooting a 70 (−2) to put himself in the top ten, in a tie for ninth.[28] He repeated with a 70 in the second round to remain in the top ten.[29] In the third round he shot a 71 (−1) to finish in a tie for ninth place for the third straight day, four back of the lead.[30] In the final round he was briefly in contention.[31] However, he faltered down the stretch and finished with a 76 (+4). His 287 (−1) aggregate gave him a tie for 24th.[32] Overall, Bohen qualified for and played in 22 events, making the cut in 18 of them.[33] At one point he made the cut in nine consecutive events.[31] In addition to his Pleasant Valley performance, he recorded two other top 25s.[33] This would be his best season on the PGA Tour.[12]

In 1974 Bohen again played extensively on the PGA Tour.[33] In July, Bohen played the Quad Cities Open. He opened with rounds 72 and 69 to make the cut.[34] He finished at 279 and in a tie for 17th, eight behind champion Dave Stockton. He earned $1,400 for the performance.[12] Overall, he made the cut in 9 of 15 events.[33] His performance at Quad Cities turned out of be his only top 25 of the year.[12][33] This was Bohen's third and final season on the PGA Tour.[35] Bohen only earned $3,134 for the season;[33] he did not earn enough money to maintain his card.[31]

In 1974-75 he returned to the Asia-Pacific region during the winter. This was his fifth season overseas.[35] Bohen played in roughly two dozen events.[12] In March 1975 he played well at the Singapore Open. He held the joint lead with Jyoki Yokoi entering the final round. Japanese player Yutaka Suzuki, however, "burned up the course" early in the round and by the 12th hole Bohen was behind. Bohen ultimately finished at 286 (−2), two behind Suzuki, in a tie for fourth.[36] Overall, Bohen estimated that he recorded "three or four" top five finishes for the season.[12]

Bohen returned to the United States shortly thereafter. By virtue of his good performance the previous year, he was able to enter the Quad Cities Open without qualifying.[12] He only played in one other PGA Tour event in 1975, however.[33]

In early September, he returned Sydney in preparation for Australia's 1975-76 season.[12] He had much success through the season. In October, Bohen opened well at the West Lakes Classic with a 71 (E) to position himself in joint second, one behind 's lead.[37] He shot consecutive rounds of 71 and 72 to stay close. In the final round he was briefly tied for the lead before settling for third, two out of a playoff.[38]

In January 1976, he played the New South Wales PGA Championship. In the first round Bohen scored five birdies. With his 68 (−4) he was in third place, two behind leaders Brian Jones and Peter Headland.[39] Despite "impossible conditions" in the second round, including "winds gusting up to 40 knots," Bohen was able to shoot a 72 (E) to move into joint second.[40] Bohen shot a 70 (−2) in the third round to move into solo second, though five behind leader Jones. In the final round, however, Jones played poorly, giving chances to the remainder of the field. Bohen made a 10-metre eagle putt on the 17th hole to get close. However, he three-putted the par-3 18th for a bogey. He fell into a tie for the clubhouse lead with Mark Tapper, now two behind leader Jones. On the final hole, however, Jones hit his tee shot into the water; he would make double bogey to fall into a tie with Bohen and Tapper.[41] He would compete in an 18-hole playoff against Jones and Mark Tapper the following day.[42] Before the playoff began the players decided to split the prize money equally, irrespective of who won the event.[42] Jones again opened with a sizeable lead but "frittered away his advantage." Bohen held a one-stoke lead entering the par-5 17th hole. and made birdie. However, Tapper made an eagle putt of 14-metres to briefly take the lead. Bohen, however, completed a two-putt birdie to tie him. On the final hole Tapper nearly made a hole in one. Bohen was unable to make birdie while Tapper holed his two-metre birdie putt for the win. Bohen was not particularly upset with the loss, however. "What can you do with a guy like that?" he stated after the round. "I finished birdie, par and he goes two shots better."[42] There was a brief controversy following the event as the players were not allowed to equally split the prize money. The Australian PGA threatened to punish the players involved.[43]

During the remainder of the Asia-Pacific season, Bohen recorded a few more highlights. Two weeks after his top performance in New South Wales he played the Tasmanian Open. He shot an opening round 69 (−3) to position himself in fourth place and a second round 70 (−2) to move into joint second.[44][45] He fired a third round 75 (+3) to fall out of contention but shot even-par in the final round to finish in a tie for seventh, three out of a playoff.[44] Shortly thereafter he moved onto the Asia Golf Circuit. During the first week of April he played the Indian Open at Royal Calcutta Golf Club. He opened with a 70 (−3) to take a one-stroke lead over Australia's Mike Ferguson and Japan's Yoshikazu Yokoshima. Australian legend Peter Thomson and American pro Don Klenk were a further shot back.[46] In the second round he shot again shot under-par, this time a two-under-par 71, and was tied with Hsu Sheng-san for the lead.[47] In the third round he shot 75 (+2) but still retained the joint lead.[48] However, Bohen "slipped" in the final round with another 75 (+2). He finished three behind champion Peter Thomson.[49] During this era, he was sponsored by Australian club manufacturer PGF.[35]

Bohen returned to the United States in the spring of 1976. In May he had success at a regional qualifier for the 1976 U.S. Open in Westchester. He had consecutive rounds of 71 to finish in third place, only behind Gene Borek and Jimmy Wright, to reach the sectional qualifier. The section qualifier would be held two weeks later in Stanwich Golf Club in Greenwich, Connecticut.[50] Bohen ultimately qualified for the event.[51] In June, he played the event proper at Atlanta Athletic Club, missing the cut.[51] Later in the summer, in August, he played the Metropolitan Open in New York.[52] He did not begin the tournament particularly well. He opened with a 72 (+1). On the first hole of the second round he hit his approach in the water and made bogey. Thereafter, however, he played excellently, shooting four-under-par for the remainder of the round, taking only 24 putts in total. It was the best he putted in memory. He took the solo lead by two shots over Jimmy Wright.[35] Bohen played poorly in the final round, however, allowing several players back in contention.[35] On the final hole he still had a chance to win on the last hole but missed his seven-foot birdie putt.[53] He finished with a 75 (+3). At 215 (−1), he entered a three-hole playoff with Lloyd Monroe and Jimmy Wright to determine the champion.[35] Monroe had a birdie on the first hole to take a one shot lead. Wright hit his approach on the par-5 2nd hole into a water hazard to fall out of contention.[53] Bohen made a 25-foot birdie putt to briefly tie but Wright holed a nine-foot birdie putt to regain the lead.[35] Monroe's "downfall," on the final hole, was on the approach shot, hitting it over the green. He made bogey. Bohen, meanwhile, made a downhill 15-foot birdie putt for the win. Bohen won $2,750, his highest paycheck in tournament golf through this date.[9]

Shortly thereafter, Bohen returned to the Australasian region. Due to his success the previous season, he was now considered the favorite among sportswriters in the run-up to tournaments. Before the South Coast Open, one of the first events of Australia's 1976–77 season, it was noted by The Canberra Times that among the 33 Americans in the competition, he and Hal Underwood were the favorites.[54] Shortly before the Malaysian Open, one of the first events of the Asian circuit, it was noted by Singapore's The Straits Times that among the dozens of Americans in the field, Bohen again was among the favorites.[55]

In last week of January in 1977 he played the Ben Guzzardi – Total Golf Classic at Traralgon Golf Club. He opened with a 64 (−7) to tie for the lead.[56] He and Cahill broke the course record.[57] Bohen shot a second round 71 (E) to stay near the lead.[56] In the third and final round, he took control with a front nine 32 (−4). He played poorly on the back nine, missing several greens, but other than a bogey on the 15th he "always managed to salvage the situation," scrambling well. He ultimately shot even-par on the back nine. His 202 (−11) total gave him the lead. Australian Noel Ratcliffe had a chance to force a playoff with a four-metre putt on the last hole but it lipped out. It was Bohen's "first major win in Australia." He won A$2,000 for his win.[56]

The following month, Bohen received much attention for his performance at the South Australian Open. He did not open the tournament well, however, with three consecutive rounds in the mid-70s. At 226 (+7) he was in danger of missing the third round cut. However, Rob McNaughton, who was among the 36-hole leaders, had a "disastrous" close, ultimately shooting 85, allowing Bohen to make the cut on the number. Bohen's final round again did not begin particularly well, shooting one-over-par over the first five holes. However, starting on the 6th hole he made eight consecutive "3s," punctuated by a 14-metre eagle chip-in on the par-5 9th. The run ended on the 14th hole as Bohen hit his approach in a bunker and was forced to save par. On the par-5 15th hole, however, Bohen made a 7-metre putt for another eagle and followed it up with a 5-metre birdie on the 16th. On the final hole he had a 3-metre birdie putt for a 62 (−11) but it lipped out. Still, his round of 63 (−10) broke the course record by three shots. He moved up 40 spots on the leaderboard from last place, 14 shots behind, to a tie for fourth, two out of a playoff.[58] He needed only 19 putts in his round.[59] He later stated that this was his greatest round as a touring professional.[1] Overall, Bohen won US$18,000 for the season.[60]

In August 1977 he attempted to defend his Metropolitan Open championship. The event was held at Meadow Brook Golf Club. After two rounds he was at 142 (−2), one behind leader Tom Ulozas. Tight fairways and "difficult pin placements" produced poor play for most of the leaders. Bohen's even-par round of 72 won the tournament easily. He won $4,000 for his performance. Bohen became the first player in 39 years to successfully defend the championship since Jimmy Hines did in 1938. The only other players to successfully defend the Metropolitan Open were Alex Smith and Walter Hagen at the beginning of the century.[60]

In 1977 Bohen broke his left hand. Influenced by this affliction, Bohen decided to forego any attempts to renew his career on the PGA Tour. His hand ultimately took two years to fully heal.[31]

Late in 1978 he began playing more, playing in some local events. In September he seriously competed for the Metropolitan PGA Championship. Early in the tournament he struggled, however. He opened with a 72 (+2) and then double-bogeyed the first hole of the second round. However, he shot four-under-par for the remainder of the second round to tie the lead with David Glenz.[61] In the third round, Bohen shot a 75 (+5) to finish one back of champion Austin Straub. He won $2,550 for his runner-up performance.[62]

Shortly thereafter he returned to Australia. He did not recorded many highlights in the beginning of the year, however. In November 1978 he played the New South Wales Open. He was in the top ten after the first three rounds.[63][64][65] In the final round he shot a disappointing 76 (+4), however, to fall into a tie for 15th.[66] The following week he played the Australian PGA Championship. He did not place very high, however, finishing at 302 (+14), eighteen shots behind champion Stewart Ginn.[67]

Bohen had much more success at the Tasmanian Open in February 1979. It was the fourth time he played the event.[68] Bohen opened with rounds of 66 (−4) and 68 (−2) to take a one-stroke lead over the "early favorite" Greg Norman.[68] Bohen scored a third round 67 (−3) to put himself at 201 (−9).[68] He had a two shot lead over New Zealand's Terry Kendall.[69] In the final round Bohen had an up and down day with several birdies and several bogeys.[70] However, his main competitor, Kendall, was unable to take advantage of Bohen's erratic play, shooting a 72 (+2). Bohen defeated him by four. "It is unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable," Bohen said after the round. It was his first win in a 72-hole tournament.[69] In addition to the sizable gap between him and Kendall, Bohen defeated the remainder of the field by eight shots, including joint third-place finisher Norman.[70]

Later in the year Bohen returned to New York. In July, he played the Westchester Golf Association pro-am. The event was held at Westchester Country Club in Harrison, New York. He shot a 69 to win the pro-am. In addition, he and fellow club pro from Leewood, Tony Stelluti, won the low net team title with a 66.[71]

In March 1980 he was appointed head club professional at Spook Rock Golf Course in Suffern, New York.[1] Bohen continued to work as the head pro through the 1980s.[72][73] Bohen was known for his work ethic and would often work 70 hours a week, sometimes every day.[31] Bohen also would regularly host tournaments and clinics at Spook Rock.[74][75] In his free time, he also continued to play in some local tournaments.[76][77] In addition, during this era Bohen qualified for a major championship, the 1984 PGA Championship. He shot rounds of 81 and 77 and missed the cut.[78]

In the early 1990s Bohen also turned 50. He began playing some events on the Senior PGA TOUR.[33] The first event he played was the NYNEX Commemorative.[33] He played the same event the following year.[79] Bohen would continue to play some Senior PGA events throughout the decade, including three major championships, though he would never become a member of the senior tour.[33] During the decade, he continued to work as the head professional at Spook Rock.[80][81]

As a senior, he also played in some local senior events.[80][82] In 1999, he won a local senior event hosted by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.[83] He also played in some local regular events.[84][85]

As of 2007, he still worked at Spook Rock.[86] Most recently, Bohen was assigned Director of Golfing Programs at Kutsher's Country Club.[87]

Bohen estimates he won at least US$100,000 in prize money as a touring professional.[1]
