Former PGA pro Bobby Cochran turns 44. Cochran played 30 PGA events in 2000, making nine cuts and finishing in the Top 25 once, tying for 13th at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic by shooting a final-round 62.
The greatest golfer of all time, Jack Nicklaus, turns 75. Nicklaus won 18 Majors in his career, the PGA record, and added 19 second-place finishes and nine third-place finishes. His first-ever win as a pro came at the 1962 US Open, just a few months after he had turned pro, at age 22. He completed the Grand Slam at age 26, another record, and became the first player to complete double and triple career slams of the four Majors. He is perhaps most well-known for his win at the Masters in 1986 at age 46, the oldest champion in tournament history. Since retiring, he has played on the Champions Tour and been successful in many business areas, most notably designing golf courses.
Spanish golfer Alvaro Quiros turns 32. A pro since 2004, he has six Euro Tour wins and finished tied for 11th at The Open Championship in 2010.
American Matt Hendrix turns 35. Hendrix has two Web.com wins and played on the PGA Tour during the 2007 season.
