Fuzzy Zoeller, a two-time major champion and one of golf's most gregarious characters whose career was tainted by a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods, has died, according to a longtime colleague. He was 74. A cause of death was not immediately available. Brian Naugle, the tournament director of the Insperity Invitational in Houston, said Zoeller's daughter called him Thursday with the news. Zoeller was the last player to win the Masters on his first attempt, a three-man playoff in 1979. He famously waved a white towel at Winged Foot in 1984 when he thought Greg Norman had beat him, only to defeat Norman in an 18-hole playoff the next day.

Comments:

Sad news. Fuzzy Zoeller was a very good player and a likable guy.

They gotta mention "racially insensitive joke". So tiresome. Blacks make racially insensitive jokes constantly. In fact the entire repertoire of most black comics comprises racially insensitive jokes. A big backlash is overdue, and "people of color" won't like it.

Poster 1, I agree. In addition to wins at Augusta and the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, Fuzzy won four other times on classic courses including Colonial, Pebble Beach and twice at Harbour Town.

Did Tiger have the vapors over a rather obvious topical joke or was it just the snotty sports wruters like this anonymous one? It could have been mentioned in a late paragraph or never.

I loved Fuzzy. He was such a good golfer and he was a lot of fun too. Stupid press and the off hand racial joke. Note to the press. No one cared then and no one cares now.

I met him a couple of times, he owned a Bar in Mo.City texas when I lived there, and my stepfather was paired with him at a ProAm during the Houston Open, they became friends and played other courses together. Nice guy, very friendly, very funny.

So this is from the AsPress. I will have to wait for confirmation as this is not a reliable source of any information.

Tiger was disappointed but accepted Fuzzy’s apology and didn’t make a big deal about it, unlike white liberals, the most closet racist demographic out there. Fuzzy was a character and great for golf, but reportedly did enjoy a drink or two after a round (a table over from me at La Costa years ago), and it got him in trouble that day.

Fuzzy was a good man. No need to apologize or prostate to the AP self proclaimed gods in repentance. Get over yourselves.

Fuzzy Zoeller was among the best. Major championships are the most important, and Zoeller beat Norman at Winged Foot when Norman was the best player in the world. I didn't expect Fuzzy to win that tournament, but he had a lot more game than we knew. Naturally, the Associated Press brings up Fuzzy's comment about whether Tiger would serve fried chicken at next year's champions' dinner at Augusta National. (I read that Tiger did serve fried chicken the following year, and it was the best fried chicken anyone had ever had.) Rest in peace, Fuzzy.

Oh please. Only a substandard organization like the AssPress would mention that stupid joke in the first paragraph. How many of us haven't made jokes about Tiger Woods although we admired his superb skills? Most of it was after his angry wife put a nine iron through his rear window for his infidelity but how many blacks Do Not like fried chicken. RIP, Fuzzy, you did nothing wrong that will keep you out of heaven, as far as I know.

Allow me to untangle this. The tradition at the Master's is for the current year's winner to select the menu for next year's banquest. Fuzzy, by saying Tiger would do the selecting, was saying indirectly that Tiger would win. And Tiger did. But Fuzzy, quick-witted as he was, worked in the fried chicken comment. Being quick-witted can be trouble, at tImes. Back in graduate school, I was chatting with two female classmates about a research paper assignment. They told me that the two of them were going to submit a joint research paper. I nodded, and said, "a broad spectrum approach!"

Re #12: Tiger had already won when Fuzzy made his comment. Yes, the Master's champion of this year chooses the menu for the next year's champions' dinner. That's a Masters tradition. In 1979, Fuzzy became the only Masters rookie to win. No one else (except Horton Smith in the inaugural Masters in 1934) has won the first time out in this tournament. It's one of four major championships. Massive, massive choke factor. And you might recall that poor Ed Sneed in 1979 came to the 72nd hole with a three foot uphill putt to win the Masters. He missed. Then Fuzzy won the playoff.

A judge in Minnesota is facing heat after she overturned a guilty verdict for an individual convicted in a $7.2 million fraud scheme that involved taxpayer money.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley's son Nalin Haley on Monday accused Republicans of failing to acknowledge disillusioned Gen Z voters' struggles with unemployment and affordability. "The first step our leaders need to do is admit that we have a problem. And right now I haven't heard any Republican leaders talk about the issues that young people are facing," Haley told "Fox & Friends." "Congress has been nothing more than a glorified nursing home. They either don't know the problems that we're facing or they're ignoring them. And to be honest, I don't know which one's worse."

Ken Burns is giving a history of the American Revolution replete with leftist narratives unmoored from facts. In Episode 1, Burns erroneously claims that the driving force of the American Revolution was to steal Indian land. In Episode 2, the narrative is slavery and the evil colonists, including George Washington. After defaming George Washington, Burns adopts the canard that slavery was a cause of the American Revolution, and portrays slavery as an unchallenged colonial evil, ignoring the colonies’ abolitionist movement, a world first.

Two years ago, Pfizer anticipated that sales of its rebound-prone Covid-19 antiviral Paxlovid and fully approved Covid vaccine Comirnaty would plummet, but good news appeared on the horizon: The drugmaker's mRNA flu vaccine did well in phase 3 trials in ages 18-64, and Pfizer expected to release results from the 65-and-up cohort "later this year." The results are finally in: Compared to a standard flu shot, the mRNA vaccine was associated with six times as many adverse reactions as infections prevented in adults under 65, and outright failed in elderly people, associated with more deaths and both minor and serious injuries, from injection-site swelling to kidney problems.
