Fuzzy Zoeller, a two-time major champion and a beloved figure in the world of golf, has died at the age of 74. Zoeller made history in 1979 when he became the last player to win the Masters in his first appearance, a feat that remains unmatched. His victory at Augusta National was followed by a U.S. Open title in 1984, solidifying his status as one of the sport's greats.
Throughout his career, Zoeller was known not only for his skill on the course but also for his engaging personality and sense of humor. He was a popular figure among fans and fellow players alike, often bringing a light-hearted approach to the game.
Despite facing controversies later in life, including a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods, Zoeller's contributions to golf and his memorable moments on the course will not be forgotten. His passing marks a significant loss for the golfing community.
