Ronnie Black, a two-time PGA Tour winner, turns 57. Black currently plays on the Champions Tour. As a pro, he own the 1983 Southern Open and the 1984 Anheuser-Busch Golf Classic. His best finish at a Major was a tie for sixth at the 1984 Masters.
Ben Curtis, winner of the 2003 Open Championship, turns 38. He earned his PGA Tour card at the end of 2002, and had a tie for 13th at the Western Open in 2003, which qualified him for The Open two weeks later. Entering it as a 300-to-1 unknown long shot, he would shoot 6-under on the first 11 holes of the final day, but won by a single stroke when Thomas Bjorn melted down over the final four holes. Curtis was the first rookie to win his first Major since Tom Watson in 1975.
Steve Pate, a six-time PGA winner and current member of the Champions Tour, turns 54. Pate finished in the top 7 of all four Majors at one point in his career, including tying for third at the 1988 US Open and 1991 Masters. He won PGA Tour Comeback Player of the year in 1999, returning from a near-fatal car accident in 1999.
