"Oldest Living Masters Champion and 2-Time Major Winner Jack Burke Jr. Dies at 100"
Jack Burke Jr., a prominent figure in postwar golf, has passed away at the age of 100. He achieved a remarkable feat in 1956 by winning both the Masters and the P.G.A. titles in the same year, and was subsequently recognized as the P.G.A.'s golfer of the year. His unexpected victory at the Masters came after trailing by eight strokes in the final round, with a memorable downhill putt aided by strong winds. At the time of his death, he held the distinction of being the oldest living champion of both the Masters and P.G.A. championships.
