Two-time major champion Fuzzy Zoeller died at the age of 74,
the PGA Tour announced on Thursday.

"Fuzzy was a true original whose talent and charisma left an
indelible mark on the game of golf," PGA Tour Commissioner Jay
Monahan said in a statement. "Fuzzy combined competitive
excellence with a sense of humor that endeared him to fans and
fellow players alike. We celebrate his remarkable legacy and
extend our deepest condolences to his family."

Zoeller was a 10-time winner on tour, including the aforementioned
majors. His first major, and second PGA win, was the 1979
Masters, which was his first time ever playing at Augusta
National.

He then won the U.S. Open five years later at Winged Foot Golf
Club in epic fashion, going up against Greg Norman in an 18-hole
playoff. Zoeller shot a three-under 67 while Norman was eight
strokes behind. Zoeller and Norman were the only players to
shoot under par in the four regulation rounds, going 4-under.
Curtis Strange's third-place finish came at 1-over.

He finished second at the 1981 PGA Championship and third in
the 1994 Open Championship at Turnberry, which is now owned by
President Donald Trump.

Zoeller owned a share of the lead heading into the final round
in Scotland, but Nick Price shot 4-under in the final round,
while Zoeller shot an even 70 to lose by three strokes.

Zoeller also won the Senior PGA Championship in 2002, and had
one other top-10 finish at the Masters.

Zoeller represented the United States in the 1979, 1983 and
1985 Ryder Cups, winning his first two before losing his final.
The 1985 Ryder Cup was the first time the United States had
lost the Ryder Cup since 1957, as the Great Britain team expanded
to all of Europe. That brought in golf legends like Seve
Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer and Sandy Lyle.

"The little boy's driving it well, he's putting well, he's doing
everything it takes to win. So you know what you guys do when he gets in
here? Pat him on the back, say congratulations, enjoy it, and tell him not
to serve fried chicken next year ... or collard greens, or whatever the
Hell they serve."

ClickyClicky well, he seems to have been apologetic and contrite about
that, so there's that at least.

As a bit of general advice, don't consume deep fried food immediately
prior to an athletic performance. Follow your dietician's advice.

If he really wanted to be helpful, he might have told Tiger Woods that
he's routinely tearing his back muscles by putting that much force into
his swing to get those extra-long drives, and will lead to repeated back surgery and lengthy recoveries. I'm not sure the way his father taught
him to play golf wasn't child endangerment.
