Hogan and I don't think it's that close.
He is T-4 for all time majors and wasn't playing against a bunch of glorified ams like Hagen was for much of his career. He is 4th all time in Tour wins.
He lost 3 prime years due to service in the military during WWII and then lost another prime year due to his car accident.
Points docked from him due to playing against weaker fields than some of the later names that could potentially play claim to the title, but 1953 is the second-best year of all-time in golf, so major points for that.

Ben Hogan played the British Open just once, 1953 at Carnoustie, and won. The Brits admiringly called him "The Wee Ice Man" and adored him.
Hogan wrote one of the most influential golf instruction books of all time, technically defining the golf swing with great accuracy.
As far as 3rd goes, a few come close but none top Hogan. His golf swing was perfection personified.
