Bols Tip (5) Bob Hamman

Robert Hamman (1938, Pasadena California) is a name you will see repeatedly when you read reports of the really big events. He was only 25 when he was a runner-up in the 1964 Olympiad. He won his first (of 10!) World Team Championships (contesting the Bermuda Bowl) in 1970 (he is the current holder), won a World Bridge Olympiad and a World Open Pairs Championship, 50 (!) North American Bridge Championships ('Nationals'), 17 United States Bridge Championships (teams), one United States Bridge Championship (pairs) — the latter two were trials for World Championships — one Cavendish Invitational Pairs and one Buffet Cup. To name only his biggest wins.
He has represented North America on many occasions, with many different partners. He played for many years with Bobby Wolff, later with Paul Soloway and currently his partner is another bridge legend: Zia Mahmood.
He was the World #1 for many, many years, currently he is ranked #7.
