2-time golf major champ Fuzzy Zoeller dead at 74 - UPI.com

Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Two-time major winner and golf great Frank Urban "Fuzzy" Zoeller Jr. has died of unknown causes at age 74, his family announced on Thursday.

Zoeller is the last person to win the prestigious Masters during his first appearance, which required him to win a three-man playoff in 1979.

The win made Zoeller the first to win the tournament in his first appearance since 1935, according to the BBC.

Zoeller also won the 1984 U.S. Open at Winged Foot after he initially conceded the win to Greg Norman. But the pair finished tied, and Zoeller triumphed in a playoff the next day.
