Jay Sigel, one of the best amateur golfers of all-time, died Saturday. He was 81 years old.
The U.S. Golf Association confirmed his passing Sunday.
Sigel put together one of the greatest amateur resumes in golf history before turning professional and compiling eight victories on the PGA Tour Champions. He won consecutive U.S. Amateur titles in 1982 and 1983. Sigel also won three U.S. Mid-Amateurs in 1983, ’85 and ’87. He remains the only player to win the U.S. Am and U.S. Mid-Am in the same year.
As if that wasn't enough, he also competed in nine Walker Cups, the most of any player in the event's history.
