The Fan Teaser: Week 35 Solution

He’s thinking “Quick blip of the throttle and I’d be out of this sand a
lot easier.” Maybe the coolest golfer ever.

Steve McQueen was best-known for his movies and his love of cars (his collection included over 100, it’s reported). The image of McQueen used in this week’s Fan Teaser is from the 1968 film, The Thomas Crown Affair. It seemed appropriate, what with the U.S. Open being played this week at Los Angeles Country Club in the shadow of the Hollywood hills. Below is one of my favorite scenes from my favorite McQueen movie, 1963’s The Great Escape.

Actor Steve McQueen even looked good in a sand trap during “The Thomas Crown Affair.”

Just to review, The Fan Teaser comes courtesy of longtime buddy, Pat Schutte. The cropped photo below and the accompanying clue give you an idea as to who or what the image is of. We invite you to use the Comment option to take a crack at solving the Teaser and, if you’re so inclined, participate in some good-spirited banter with your fellow sports fans. The Fan Teaser will appear each Friday morning with the reveal coming to you by the early kickoff on Sunday.
