Lee Trevino, one of golf's beloved legends, never fails to charm fans with his wit. This week at the PNC Championship, the six-time major championship winner reflected on playing in the event for 27 years.

He starred in the family-oriented event with his son Daniel. During the first round, Trevino made a hilarious comment on his past appearances at the PNC Championship while interacting with a fan. The PGA Tour star, who turned 85 this month, said (via @pgatour and @pgatourchampions on Instagram):

"27 years now. I had black hair when I came here the first time."

While practicing at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club's driving range, the two-time US Open winner ran into fellow legend Fred Couples. Trevino made a lighthearted joke upon greeting the 65-year-old golfer with a peace sign in the air. He said:

"Hey listen, that's a knee brace. You have to put it over your knee. ... I'm glad you're here man."

Here's a look into Trevino's humor at the 2024 PNC Championship:

The World Golf Hall of Famer and his son tied for 15th place with Team Couples with a 36-hole score of 14 under par.
