'''Lee Trevino''' (born December 1, 1939 in Dallas, Texas) is an American [[golf]]er of the [[20th century]]. He became a professional golfer in 1960, and is a contemporary of [[Arnold Palmer]]. He was an [[icon]] of Mexican-Americans in the 1960s, similar to [[Cesar Chavez]], so much so that he titled his [[autobiography]] ''They Call Me Super Mex'', a reference to [[Sydney Poitier]]'s character in ''[[The Heat of the Night]]''. (Poitier was an icon of black Americans in the same time period.) Trevino's other nicknames included "The Merry Mex" and "Mad Mex".
