Frank "Fuzzy" Zoeller Jr. ( born November 11, 1951) is an American
professional golfer
who has won ten
PGA Tour
events including two
major championships
. He is one of three golfers to have won the
Masters Tournament
in his first appearance in the event. He also won the 1984
U.S. Open
, which earned him the 1985
Bob Jones Award
.
Life and career
Born and raised in
New Albany, Indiana
, Zoeller was successful golfer while at
New Albany High School
, finishing as the runner-up in the 1970 state high school tournament with a state record low round (67).After completing his high school career, he attended
Edison Junior College
in Florida, transferred to the
University of Houston
, and became a professional golfer in 1973. Zoeller won both of his two majors in playoffs: the 1979 Masters at
Augusta National Golf Club
in a three-way sudden-death playoff with
Ed Sneed
and
Tom Watson
; and the
1984 U.S. Open
at
Winged Foot Golf Club
after an 18-hole playoff with
Greg Norman
.
In 1979, Zoeller became the first golfer since 1935 to win The Masters in his first appearance in the event. The only two other golfers to have won The Masters on their debut at Augusta were the winners of the first two Masters tournaments
Horton Smith
and
Gene Sarazen
, in 1934 and 1935 respectively. It was the first sudden-death playoff at The Masters; the previous six playoffs were 18-hole rounds on Monday (except 1935, which was 36 holes).
For much of his career, Zoeller was famous for waving a white towel in mock surrender from the fairway of the 72nd hole of the 1984 U.S. Open, after Greg Norman holed a long putt on the 72nd green to tie Zoeller for the tournament lead. At the end of the 18-hole playoff the next day between Norman and Zoeller (which Zoeller won by 8 strokes), Norman waved a white towel himself, returning the joke.
Zoeller was voted the 1985 winner of the Bob Jones Award, the highest honor given by the
United States Golf Association
in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf.
Zoeller shared the 54-hole lead in the
1994 Open Championship
after a 3rd round of 64, but finished the tournament in 3rd place, his best-ever finish in The Open. Zoeller missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the 18th green in his 3rd round at
Turnberry
which would have tied the record for the best single round at The Open.
He competed at the 1979, 1983 and 1985
Ryder Cups
.
In 2002, Zoeller joined the
Champions Tour
and won the
Senior PGA Championship
, a
senior major
, that year. He also won the 2004
MasterCard Championship
.
Zoeller has often been jokingly critical of his colleagues on the golf course, for instance, asking "Where are the windmills and animals?" on a newly designed golf course, or heckling
Craig Stadler
, saying, "Nice
clods
, Stadler. Did you get those at a
Buster Brown
fire sale
?"
In 2009, Zoeller began selling vodka under the brand name "Fuzzy's Vodka". Starting in 2012, the brand sponsored
Ed Carpenter Racing
's entries in the
IndyCar Series
.
