"Charles Owens" is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour and the Senior PGA Tour.

Owens was born in Winter Haven, Florida. He played football at Florida A&M University and served in the U.S. Army. He suffered injuries to both knees and his left ankle during a parachute jump at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 1952 which left him handicapped.

Owens turned professional in 1967 and joined the PGA Tour in 1970. During his seven years on the Tour, he won the 1971 Kemper Asheville Open, a "satellite" PGA Tour event. Owens played with a limp and played all golf shots cross-handed. The biggest year of his professional career came on the Senior PGA Tour in 1986, when he won twice in a three tournament span, and finished eighth on the money list with $207,813.

Owens was allowed to use a cart while competing in most instances due to his disability, and once staged a protest at the 1987 U.S. Senior Open against the United States Golf Association/USGA for its ban on carts at that event.

Owens also is credited with inventing and popularizing a "belly putter" which he used to overcome the yips.

Owens lives in Tampa, Florida. He won the Ben Hogan Award in 1987 and was inducted into the African American Golfers Hall of Fame in 2007.

We think this is an excellent set of results.

The local population knows who the bad guys are, ... So when the fear of retaliation is removed, the locals are taking coalition forces to weapons stockpiles and enemy locations. The Iraqi people don't want these people in their neighborhood, so it is not surprising that they are turning these guys in.

As it stands now, no one has confirmed whether [Hussein] is dead or alive. His regime is gone, so basically he is irrelevant.

We would certainly have financial flexibility to do another deal if that came up.

They are a Godsend. If not for them we'd still be in a big mess. I mean even a bigger mess that we're in right now.

These efforts were all part of the plan from the beginning. The intention was to preserve as much of the Iraqi infrastructure as possible so as to allow follow-on agencies to conduct reconstruction efforts.

[Owens said Iraqis are making strides toward improving conditions in their country.] People do not like chaos, ... The basics of police forces and fire departments are desired not only by the coalition but also by the Iraqis.

It is a market we know very well...the margins in life insurance in Hong Kong remain very attractive. It will enable us, if we integrate it well, to create significant value.
