Billy Casper, a two-time United States Open victor, a Masters champion and the player with the seventh-most wins in PGA Tour history, but considered one of the game’s most underrated players died on Saturday at his home in Springville, Utah. He was 83.
Casper won the US Open in 1959 and 1966 and the Masters in 1970, and claimed 51 PGA Tour titles between 1956 and 1975.
Casper was remembered as a skilled competitor and a dedicated family man by his peers, and in 1978 he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
