Don Cherry!

With two top five hits, Don Cherry is the only person to have successful dual careers as a singer and a golfer. 

Throughout his singing career, Don was also a top-ranked amateur golfer, and was in contention to win the 1960 U.S. Open before eventually finishing tied for ninth along with Ben Hogan, four strokes behind winner Arnold Palmer. Don played on three Walker Cup teams, in the Americas Cup twice (1954 and 1960) and in nine Masters Tournaments, making the cut seven times with a best finish of T-25 in 1959. Three years later, Cherry decided to turn professional and "Pro" became his nickname among fellow entertainers. 

Don's son, Stephen, was a casualty of the 9/11 attacks when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Stephen left behind four sons.
