As the Masters draws nearer, here’s a list of golfers lighting the candles.
April 7
Joe Durant, four-time PGA winner and current member of the Champions Tour, turns 51. He won four PGA tournaments between 1998 and 2006, and was named PGA Tour Comeback Player of the Year in 2001. His best finish at a Major was a tie for 18th at the 2007 PGA Championship.
Australian Scott Strange, a two-time European Tour winner, turns 38. Strange won the 2008 Wales Open and the 2009 Volvo China Open on the Euro Tour, and has two Asian Tour wins as well. He has never survived the cut at a Major.
April 8
Edward Fryatt, a four-time winner on the Asian Tour, turns 44. Fryatt, born in Lancashire, England, had five top-10 finishes in his 2000 debut season on the PGA Tour, but did not play past 2001 on the tour. In 1997 at the US Open, he was given one of the rarest penalties in golf, a stroke for slow play.
Joe Ogilvie, who won the 2007 US Bank Championship in Milwaukee, turns 41. He retired in 2014. He finished tied for 17th at the 2005 PGA Championship.
