71 years old (Born on September 16, 1953)
Happy Birthday, Jerry! Celebrating the man who swung into golf history by clinching the U.S. Open in 1976 during your rookie season—talk about peaking early! Eight PGA Tour victories later and you're still remembered for that unforgettable orange ball dive after winning The Players Championship; truly a splashy moment!Though you may have only snagged one major championship trophy (hey, quality over quantity!), you've given us countless memorable moments on—and off—the course. Here's to another year of legendary stories, smooth swings, and maybe fewer water hazards ahead.
Cheers to you today—you’re forever our favorite "one-hit wonder" champion golfer extraordinaire!
