Antonio Cerdá

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonio Cerdá (born 1921) is an Argentine professional golfer.

He finished second in the 1951 British Open to Max Faulkner, and second in the 1953 British Open to Ben Hogan, among seven consecutive top-ten finishes in the championship. He won several national opens in Europe in the 1950s and won the first Canada Cup with Roberto DeVicenzo in 1953 for Argentina. Later in his career, Cerdá would emigrate to Mexico, and also represented that country five times at the World Cup, finishing second once, just after the United States team, represented by Arnold Palmer & Jack Nicklaus. After an outstanding professional career, Antonio Cerdá has dedicated over 40 years to golf instruction, particularly to young players in Mexico. "El Maestro" as all his friends and golf pupils call him, is still teaching young golfers at the age of 86 years old at the Mexico City Country Club.^{[citation needed]}
