Germán Garrido Cánora (born 15 June 1948) is a member of one of Spain's most successful golfing families. His brother Antonio and nephew Ignacio were only the second father-son combination to have played in the Ryder Cup.[1][2]
Professional career
[edit]Garrido turned professional at 15 years old in 1963.
He finished second twice in the Spanish Professional Closed Championship; in 1972 at Atalaya Park, tied with Francisco Abreu, losing in a play-off against Valentín Barrios, and in 1975 at La Manga, one shot behind his brother Antonio.[3]
He played on the European circuit both before and after the establishment of the formal European Tour in 1972, winning the Madrid Open in 1968 and 1973 and the Portuguese Open in 1972. With his win in the 1973 Madrid Open, Garrido and his brother became the first pair of brothers to win on the European Tour. They were later followed by Manuel and Seve Ballesteros, Francesco and Edoardo Molinari and Rasmus and Nicolai Højgaard.[4]
