HAPPY 92nd BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY, KEL NAGLE, CENTENARY OPEN CHAMPION 1960
FROM THE PGA OF AUSTRALASIA WEBSITE
One of the PGA's favourite sons will celebrate another in a long list of milestones this week.
Centenary Open champion Kel Nagle, the most prolific winner in PGA Tour of Australasia history with 61 titles, turns 92 on Saturday.
Nagle is best known for his win in the 1960 Open but it was only one highlight in a career that featured many of them.
Six times he hoisted the Joe Kirkwood Cup at the Australian PGA Championship and a record seven times won the New Zealand Open Championship.
He also twice won the Canada Cup (later the World Cup) with partner Peter Thomson and lost a play-off to Gary Player at the 1965 US Open.
Aside from his victory over Arnold Palmer in the 1960 Open, Nagle featured in the top 10 on another six occasions including a runner-up finish in 1962.
The PGA staff and all Members wish Kel the best for his birthday celebrations this week.
