Fuzzy Zoeller, who won two Major titles in playoffs, including the Masters in his first appearance, has died at the age of 74. A 10-time winner on the PGA Tour, Zoeller won the Masters in a three-way sudden-death playoff with Ed Sneed and Tom Watson; and the 1984 US Open at Winged Foot Golf Club after an 18-hole playoff with Greg Norman. Speaking to reporters in the shadow of Woods’ record-breaking win, Zoeller ended his interview by remarking, “So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? The USGA is sending our deepest condolences to his family and friends.”“The PGA Tour is saddened by the passing of Fuzzy Zoeller,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said. Fuzzy combined competitive excellence with a sense of humour that endeared him to fans and fellow players alike.
