His speed afoot gained him the nickname "Lightning Gus." He is considered one of the very best retrievers of all time and his all-around game was a delight to watch. Originally from of Buffalo, N.Y., Gus later played in the Los Angeles area, and then moved to Chicago, where he tutored many great national champions, including Johnny Sloan, Jim Jacobs and Paul Haber. After Gus' Open singles days were over, he compiled an outstanding Masters doubles record with Ken Schneider. |
