As a 16-year old, he worked in a golf shop in Melbourne and took a head job at a nine-hole course in Tasmania. . .In 1970, Graham came to America to try and get his card in Q-school. He failed, but the next week he and Bruce Devlin won the World Cup for Australia, as Graham placed second individually.
