The Crow Valley Golf Club is a golf club in the United States and was founded in 1969. The club is located in Davenport , Iowa and has an 18-hole golf course with a par of 71. The golf course was designed by the golf course architect John Cochran.

After his discharge, Trevino became a club professional back in Texas inEl Paso, and made extra money by gambling for stakes in head-to-head matches. He qualified for the U.S. Open in1966, made the cut, and tied for 54th, earning $600. He qualified again in1967and shot 283 (+3), eight shots behind championJack Nicklaus, and only four behind runner-upArnold Palmer. Trevino earned $6,000 for finishing fifth, which earned him Tour privileges for the rest of the 1967 season. He won $26,472 as a rookie, 45th on the PGA Tour money list, and was namedRookie of the YearbyGolf Digest. The fifth-place finish at the U.S. Open also earned him an exemption into the following year\'s event.

In 1968, his second year on the circuit, Trevino won theU.S. OpenatOak Hill Country Club, inRochester, New York, four strokes ahead of runner-up Nicklaus, the defending champion. During his career, Trevino won 29 times on the PGA Tour, including sixmajors. He was at his best in the early 1970s, when he wasJack Nicklaus\'s chief rival. He won the money list title in 1970, and had six wins in1971and four wins in1972.

Trevino had a remarkable spell during a span of 20 days in the summer of 1971. He defeated Nicklaus in an 18-hole playoff to win the1971 U.S. Open. Two weeks later, he won theCanadian Open(the first of three), and the following week wonThe Open Championship(British Open), becoming the first player to win those three titles in the same year. Trevino was awarded theHickok Beltas the top professional athlete of 1971. He also wonSports Illustratedmagazine\'s \"Sportsman of the Year\" and was namedABC\'sWide World of SportsAthlete of the Year.

In1972atMuirfieldinScotland, Trevino became the first player to successfully defend The Open Championship sinceArnold Palmerin1962. In a remarkable third round at Muirfield, Trevino had five consecutive birdies from the 14th through the 18th, holing a bunker shot on the 16th and sinking a 30–foot chip on the 18th for a round of 66. In the final round, Trevino was tied for the lead on the 17th tee withTony Jacklin. Trevino chipped in from rough on the back of the green for a par on the 17th. A shaken Jacklin three-putted the same hole from 15 feet for a bogey. Trevino parred the 18th hole for a final round of 71, winning him the Open by a stroke over Nicklaus, with Jacklin finishing third. Trevino holed out four times from off the greens during the tournament. Nicklaus had won the first two majors of the year (Masters,U.S. Open) and fell just short in the third leg of thegrand slam. After holing his chip shot on the 17th in the final round, Trevino said: \"I\'m the greatest chipper in the world.\"
