Ben Crane Biography
Ben Crane was born in Portland, Oregon on 6th March 1976. He was taught to play golf at the age five by his grandfather. He attended Beaverton High School and went on to attend a Christian College in Texas. He later graduated from the University of Oregon and turned professional in 1999.
Crane had his first win on the Nationwide Tour in 2000 at the BUY.COM Wichita Open followed by his second win in 2001 at the Gila River Classic at Wild Horse Pass Development. He won a PGA Tour card for 2002, and the following season won for the first time on the PGA Tour at the BellSouth Classic. He also had a win in 2005. In February 2006, just before he turned thirty, he was the highest ranked American golfer under that age in the Official World Golf Rankings.
Crane missed the majority of the 2007 season due to back problems, and played on the PGA Tour in 2008 on a major medical extension. He finished 64th on the money list to retain his card for 2009.
He is also considered one of the slowest players in the tour. On at least two occasions his extremely slow progress through a course has become a media issue, including one in which a fellow tour player Rory Sabbatini played out of turn and then was cited for unsportsmanlike conduct.
