    I followed Fuzzy’s career very closely. He was one of the longest drivers of his era, although in those days Norman was best driver of the ball in the world. The difference was, in my opinion, that when Fuzzy had a chance to win, he often won. Whereas with Norman, and all those chances, something strange would happen. Fuzzy was a helluva player, but a character. Only he can say how he felt on the inside, but on the outside he exuded charm and nonchalance. That must be tough to compete against under so much pressure. Of course he cared, but you would hardly know it. Won the Masters as a rookie with a local caddie and won the U.S. Open head to head on a brutal course against the world #1. The pride of southern Indiana. Good on you Frank Urban Zoeller!

    Saw Fuzzy’s ace at Glen Oaks. I was sitting under the tv tower. Hung up for 11 seconds, and God blew on it.

    I met Fuzzy Zoeller at the Greater Milwaukee Open in the early 2000's.... Very cordial & charming gentleman. Very funny guy. It was a pleasure.

    I absolutely hate Father Time. He’s taken away all of my favorite players. What I wouldn’t give to attend a PGA Tour Major in the mid 80’s.
    Fuzzy’s swing was awesome to watch, but I loved to watch him putt.
    Also, the high collar Lacoste shirt with the belt-less Sansibelt pants…love it!!

    One of the most entertaining and naturally talented golfers of all time. Lee Trevino is another one. Playing by feel instead of trying to develope a mechanically perfect swing. It proves there is more than one method that can produce incredible results.

    1979. LA Open post-round. Fuzzy and his caddy, no one else around at the range. I was a teen a teen with my friend: Fuzzy told us dirty jokes and hit trick shots for us (uncanny--because of his casual demeanor, people underestimated his skill) and we were in heaven. In retrospect, it's so unfortunate that he's most remembered for the stupid joke he told, because he was such a great guy, and a far better human being than Woods the GOAT or Norman the GCOT. But real people often fall prey to the self-righteous.

    With the U.S. Open officially ditching the 18-hole playoff last year, Fuzzy Zoeller's 3-under par 67 in the 18-hole playoff will stand for all time (unless they bring back the 18-hole playoff) as the lowest score ever recorded in an 18-hole playoff at the U.S. Open.

    Fuzzy is a class act. I was so glad he won and what a playoff with Greg Norman. Tiger went totally overboard with what Fuzzy said post Masters in 1997. Tiger has had a ton of miss deeds in his career and the press has always given him a pass including his crash in California totally drugged up that could have killed people. Fuzzy kept quiet and never said Tiger should be in jail. Tiger should have cut Fuzzy some slack, but didn't have the class to do so. The USGA is giving Tiger The Bob Jones Award this year which is a total disgrace. James B. Horan

    This is what Fuzzy said when Tiger won
    “"He's doing quite well, pretty impressive. That little boy is driving well and he's putting well. He's doing everything it takes to win. So, you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him on the back and say congratulations and enjoy it and tell him not to serve fried chicken next year. Got it. Or collard greens whatever the hell they serve” facts

      " "in response to
      media inquiries about Fuzzy Zoeller's comments" at The
      Masters. The statement: "At first I was shocked to hear
      that Fuzzy Zoeller had made these unfortunate remarks. His
      attempt at humor was out of bounds, and I was disappointed
      by it. But having played golf with Fuzzy, I know he is a
      jokester; and I have concluded that no personal animosity
      toward me was intended. I respect Fuzzy as a golfer and as
      a person and for the many good things he has done for others
      throughout his career. I know he feels badly about his
      remarks. We all make mistakes, and it is time to move on.
